About Wind Works / Zero Emission
People
Wind Works now operates 4.6 megawatts in Germany, in
which it
has a 49% ownership stake. In addition, Wind Works is developing 77
megawatts
of near-term permitted projects in Germany; 50 megawatts of FIT
contracted
projects in Ontario with ReD plus an additional 20 megawatts on its
own; and
425 megawatts of projects in the United States.
Our mission is to provide the opportunity for people
to
participate in the development of renewable wind energy projects.
We believe in
making sound, environmentally conscious investments that are good
for our
shareholders and our planet. To eliminate one person`s carbon
footprint of 20 tons
each year (for Canada), it only takes a modern windmill 2 days by
producing
approx. 40,000 kilowatt hours of zero emission energy.
