Valley Electric is proud to announce that wind power is now available to their customers. YVEA, through Public Service Company of Colorado, will sell wind energy produced from the Ponnequin Wind Facility, located in Weld County near the Colorado-Wyoming state line.
Customers can buy as many blocks of wind energy as they wish.
Of course, it would be great if wind power were cheaper than coal or natural gas but the developing technology carries a higher price. That's like planting an acre of trees or not driving your car 6,000 miles. Short of shooting your car or moving into a yurt, this may be the best thing you can do to help the environment. Act now, it's a breeze to buy electricity generated by Colorado's first wind farm. Updated August 29, 2000.
