The first town was powered by wind power

Four turbines power the 1300 town of Rockport in the United States, making it the first community in the United States to rely entirely on wind power to operate.

Earlier, the US Department of Energy published a map showing that the northwestern state of Missouri was home to the state's most wind energy and some of the sites could be suitable for wind instrument development.

Four wind turbines were built in the Rock Port town of Missouri. The installation of wind turbines to power the Rock Port is part of a larger system consisting of 75 turbines built across three provinces in the state to collect wind energy.

The four turbines that power this 1300 town have turned Rock Port into the first community in the United States to rely entirely on wind power to operate.

These turbines also offer another advantage: they produce clean energy. MU Extension experts say Missouri's wind farms will bring in more than $ 1.1 million in annual property taxes by the Wind Capital Group, a wind energy group based in St . Louis - pay.

"This is a unique situation because rural areas have absolutely no tax revenue in this way."

Land owners can benefit from leasing land to build wind turbines.

Turbines will provide electrical services for at least 20 years, in anticipation of their lifespan. .
