This week on GreenSense Radio we're talking about wind energy. Wind is a clean source of energy, readily available and quiet. The wind energy model is also simple -- install a windmill, catch the wind and turn it into electricity that feeds the grid. The first US commercial wind mills used to generate electricity were built in Cleveland in 1888. The US wind energy industry shattered all previous records in 2008 by installing over 8,500 megawatts (MW) of new generating capacity, enough to serve over two million homes.

Join Robert Colangelo as he interviews Kevin Borgia, Executive Director of the Illinois Wind Energy Association, Noel Thelander of Monarch Renewable Energy, Paul Curran, Senior VP of Apex Wind, Brad Baumgarten of Lee Lumber in Chicago and Steve Wegman from Wind for Schools.
