Harness wind energy at the White House

Harnessing wind energy on the White House grounds would yield financial savings on energy for the White House, benefit the environment, and inspire wind energy use elsewhere. Initially, some might regard towers and rotors as an eyesore. Farsighted people, however, might begin to view wind turbines as beautiful. According to the Amer. Wind Energy Assoc., “over its life, a small residential wind turbine can offset approximately 1.2 tons of air pollutants and 200 tons of greenhouse gases.”
