Default Sam’s Club First U.S. Retailer to Install On-Site Micro-Wind Farm – Walmart is Next

Not a bad idea at all IMO. Too bad it only accounts for ~5% of the store's energy usage! Lets do some calculations...

76,000 kWh = 5%

76,000 x 20 = 1,520,000 kWh per year

That is 4,164 kWh per day!?!?! Is my math off? That sounds like an incredible amount of power for one retail store.

17 micro-wind turbines were recently installed at the Sam’s Club store in sunny Palmdale, California. The Skystream turbines, from Massachusetts-based DeerPath Energy Inc., are expected to generate about 76,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy annually or up to 5 percent of the store’s energy needs.
