The clean, sustainable energy generated by Stetson Wind will produce over 167 million kWh annually of electricity, enough to power about 23,500 homes—or almost all of Washington County—every year. Every megawatt produced means less reliance on foreign sources.

Safe for our lakes and rivers:
Unlike conventional methods of electricity production, wind power uses no water and emits no mercury, a leading cause of contamination to our rivers and lakes.

No pollution:
Wind energy produces zero air or water pollution

Reduced use of climate-changing fossil fuels:
A traditional fossil fueled generation facility producing an equivalent amount of electric energy would consume over 331,000 barrels of oil per year or over 89,000 tons of coal per year.

No greenhouse gas emissions:
Based on data recently published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (U.S. EPA) Emissions and Generation Resource Integrated Database (E-GRID), traditional generation sources producing an equivalent annual amount of electric energy would emit greenhouse gases (GHG) consisting of nearly 76,000 short tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and 80 tons of nitrogen oxide (NO_x). To put this in perspective, 76,000 tons of CO₂ is equivalent to the annual emissions of over 13,000 cars or over 9,000 SUVs. In addition, equivalent energy production from traditional sources would produce 190 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO₂). Both SO₂ and NO_x cause acid rain.
