California's recent problems with high electricity prices and the risk of electricity outages have led many to seek a new answer.
Wind power can help.
The price of wind power has come down dramatically in the past two decades, making it the most affordable type of renewable energy in places with a good wind resource. If you live in a windy part of the state and own at least an acre of property, a household or small wind turbine may be great insurance against increases in your electricity bill. If you live elsewhere, you can still take action to support greater utility-scale use of this clean, abundant electricity source to help solve California s problems.
