Alliant Energy has activated a wind farm in Iowa.
The large wind farm totaled $400 million by completion and produces 200 megawatts of power. That is enough energy to power for 50,000 homes.
Whispering Willow Wind Farm-East is located in Franklin County and has 121 wind turbines over 144 square miles.
Alliant Energy expects over the next 20 years that the farm will save 2 million tons of carbon dioxide, 7,000 tons of sulfur and 2,600 tons of nitrogen oxides. This is like taking 309,000 cars off the road annually.
The construction began in 2008.
