John Deere: an unlikely proponent of US wind power
Greenbang knows John Deere from his childhood days, visiting some friends who lived on farms and staring in wonder at those huge machines with the big tyres chugging about.
Well, it seems that the same company is now looking to back a new generation of power: by providing farmers with the finance to build wind turbines on their farms, in exchange for a long-term money sharing deal.
EcoGeek has more on it, but the deal (reported in CNN) seems to a total winner: for famers, for business, and for wind power.
