This article is about how the city of Anoka put a windmill on Anoka High School. Anoka is one of 11 cities in the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency. Many people are happy with this construction. Officials and students are happy this is happening. This windmill will generate enough power for 40 homes and 25% of Anoka High School’s power needs.
I think this is an interesting article because you hear of windmills by farms and in the country but you never really hear about them being in the city. This windmill is not the only one in the city. There are supposedly 11 cities that will have windmills. I think this is newsworthy because it is different to see a windmill in the city. I think the newspaper could have expanded more on this topic. I’m left wondering why these 11 cities are a part of this group? What is the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency? How much will this change energy cost in Anoka? And who and how was it decided that 40 homes would get to benefit from this? I think the paper should have looked farther into the topic.
