When the heat of the earth's surface is uneven, air mass is put into motion. As warm air rises, cooler air moves in to take its place, creating wind. Most wind energy is generated from turbines as tall as a 20-story building with three 200-foot-long blades. Wind direction determines the design of the turbine - upwind turbines face the wind while downwind turbines face away. The energy in the wind turns the three blades around a rotor connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to convert kinetic energy into electricity.

As we expand production, we will continue to utilize wind energy technology to help power our facility in Viola, Wisconsin. By successfully leading the effort to bring renewable wind energy to our entire municipality, we hope to inspire other companies to make a positive impact on the planet both inside and outside their doors.
