My name is Brian McDonald. I'm with PG&E and we're here to talk about wind power. Global warming is a reality and even though PG&E supplies some of the cleanest power in the nation, we still emit carbon dioxide and that contributes to global warming. Over the past five years, PG&E has made a push toward finding new clean renewable power resources. Wind power is one of them. Wind power is generated through the use of a wind turbine and essentially what happens is the wind blows, the turbine spins, and when it spins it generates an electrical current from a generator and the generator then sends that current to the grid and ultimately to our customers. There's incredible potential for wind power in the U.S. One windmill can power up to 600 homes a day. There is no quick fix to global warming, but a push now towards renewable resources is going to make a huge difference in the future. It's projects like this that convince me we can do this.
