We’re very glad to see that ground has been broken for a 26-turbine wind farm near Willcox. The Red Horse 2 Wind Farm is expected to generate 51 megawatts of renewable energy, enough to power 51,000 homes, and developers hope to be online by summer 2015.

We understand that not all forms of renewable energy work in all places, but Arizona does have a number of renewable energy options. Such as wind — albeit in only the southeast and northwest corners of the state — and water. Unfortunately for the average homeowner, the energy created by dams along the Colorado River has been committed.

So why not use the resource Arizona has in abundance — more than any other state in the nation — solar power?
