Windy Flats, developed and constructed by Cannon Power Group, in Washington State is one of the largest wind farms in the United States. The wind farm project, which involved Siemens Energy and Siemens Financial Services began with construction in mid-2008. Since then, more than 300 jobs have been created, which is a relief to a county with high unemployment rates. Thanks to wind energy in the region, many young people have been able to remain in their hometowns rather than moving to bigger cities to establish careers, enabling families to stay together.
