Skystream wind turbine captures clean, renewable energy near New Town farmhouse

New Town, a mixed development of residential, retail and commercial, is a planned community with an emphasis on green living.  The entire 750-acre tract of prairie land was optimized to promote a five-minute walk anywhere within five neighborhood centers.  Homes are all built near lakes and canals, specifically designed to capture stormwater runoff from the entire development.

The community includes neighborhood parks, restaurants and markets, where you can walk or bike rather than drive.  Food is locally produced on an organic farm, powered by a wind turbine installed by The Energy Savings Store. The 2.4kW Skystream wind turbine sits atop a sleek 45' tower, generates about a third of the farmhouse's energy requirements.
