Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors visited Alliant Energy offices South of Hampton Wednesday February 6. Steve Gilbert, the site director conducted an informal presentation and tour of the site.
Did you know there are over 7,000 parts in one wind turbine? Iowa passed California and now only trails Texas in installed wind power generating capacity. Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce gladly welcomes Alliant Energy and their employees to Franklin County.
A wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, a turbine uses wind to make electricity.
The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity The electricity is sent through transmission and distribution lines to a substation, then on to homes, business and schools.
