The New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, Colo., will buy all the power produced by a new wind turbine in Wyoming, prompting one official to propose that the turbine be painted to resemble a giant bottle of Fat Tire beer, which the brewery produces. The turbine is one of five scheduled to be installed in September at a Wyoming wind farm, where two turbines are already operating. More than 700 customers have signed up to buy wind power from the farm — such a high demand that plans are already in the works to add three more turbines once the five new ones are up and running.
