To conserve our planet’s limited natural resources, we need to develop alternative energy sources for the future. One of the cleanest alternative energy sources is wind power. Twin Groves Wind Farm is located on the wind-swept Bloomington Moraine in eastern McLean County. Host Alison Davis Wood visited the wind farm, which sprawls across more than 22,000 acres of farmland, and generates enough energy to power over 100,000 homes. She saw one of the wind turbines erected and found out what the locals thought of this new kind of farm going up in their backyards.
