Community Wind is Ready to Deliver, both to combat climate change, and to provide rural economic development.
Windustry® promotes Community Wind as a robust economic engine for rural communities that:
- Deploys large amounts of green energy more quickly than the alternatives
- Stimulates new, expanded and sustainable revenues
- Creates new green jobs that stay in the community
- Increases local and national energy security
- Empowers communities to become producers of their own energy and economic future
- Saves money
Windustry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization funded through grants and donations from individuals, families, and businesses. Donations support our work in educating rural communities about wind energy, Community Wind, and innovative ownership models; providing continuous updates to the Community Wind Toolbox; presenting webinars on key topics in wind energy; providing technical assistance to communities interested in launching wind energy projects; and advocating for public policy that advances Community Wind.
