There are all kinds of alternative-fuel initiatives gaining strength in the US these days. In “downstate” Illinois, people are really looking at wind farms, and they’re growing fast. In one area, there are 243 wind towers. They are able to generate energy at an extremely efficient rate with zero air pollution. There is a lot of wind in the plain states, as you know. One planned wind station will produce enough energy for 120,000 homes in Chicago for an entire year. And it’s only the tip of the iceberg. As a country, we have to suck it up and deal with these wind towers because they produce energy we create ourselves. Biodiesel is another great idea that people are embracing in the Midwest. And, all of these initiatives are doing Clark’s heart good. We don’t want to be dependent on imported oil anymore because we want to be in a position of power.
