What is the environmental impact of replacing fossil fuels for power generation? To find out what wind can do for our environment check out our environmental Impact calculator.

For example, one wind turbine of 1 million watts or 1 MW in size, can generate enough power for 1,000 homes.

A typical North American Household uses between 700 and 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month or 8,400 and 12,000 kilowatt-hours a year.
