Abstract:
The world’s largest wind-powered generator is being constructed on Howard’s Knob mountain, north of Boone. The windmill is part of a federal study to determine whether windmills are a feasible source of electrical energy and an alternative to fossil fuels. If successful, the wind generator could provide enough power to furnish electricity to more than five-hundred homes.
