The gift that keeps on giving

Carleton College is getting a second wind turbine on its Northfield campus. The pair of windmills, when operating together, will generate more than half of the power required to meet Carleton's needs. The second wind turbine being added this summer will join the one currently in operation since 2004.

But that is not the best part of the story. The new turbine is actually a 30th wedding anniversary gift from one Carleton graduate to another. These alumni are giving back with the gift of sustainable energy, how cool is that??? To read the complete story on the Star Tribune website, click here.
