Government
Generating Educational Opportunities and a Green Economy
For local governments, installing clean-energy systems such as wind turbines are the first step in setting an example for their entire community about the importance of decreasing our dependence on fossil fuels.
With a relatively small one-time investment in a Skystream wind turbine, cities, counties and even states can start producing their own energy to help power government buildings while helping educate others about the benefits of wind energy.
How Skystream Works in Conjunction with Your Electric Utility
When your Skystream turbine blades are spinning, they’re generating energy you don’t have to buy from the electric utility. When you need more energy than your Skystream produces, your electric utility takes over just the way you’re used to. And it all happens completely seamlessly, with no loss of power.
The Endless Power of Wind Energy to Benefit Your Community
Everyone benefits when local governments install Skystream wind turbines to help power public buildings.
Local schools can take advantage of the turbine’s operation to teach important lessons in science, math, civics and the environment. Your government may even choose to set up a kiosk in public areas such as city hall or the courthouse to demonstrate the turbine’s operation and energy-producing capacity.
Just as important for the future of your town or city, using wind energy helps attract businesses and residents who want to be part of a green community that’s doing its part to move toward energy independence.
