Editorial Letter Wind Turbine Highways

Microturbines would allow us to use our highways to create electricity. 133 words.

Let us become the Valley of Ingenuity. Let us make our highways more than just roads.

Sound-reducing walls will be built to improve the quality of life throughout the area, reducing the ubiquitous noise pollution.

Within these walls will be the electrical infrastructure for wind turbines. Variable speed micro-turbines will be placed along the traffic corridors using natural and man-made winds for power production. This electricity will power the lights, rest stops, and toll booths.

Prairie grasses will be planted in the greenways, filtering gross particulates and carbon dioxide from the air. It will be sold and harvested frequently to produce ethanol, helping fund further construction projects and create green business/jobs regionally.

Let us seize this opportunity to be at the forefront of ingenuity. It is an idea whose time is now.

Sincerely,
