El Reno Wind Tower

Estimates are that one wind technician is needed to service every ten mega-watts of wind generating capacity. In 2009, seven hundred new wind technicians were needed to keep pace with installations of new wind turbines. To meet that need, several Oklahoma schools like Canadian Valley Technology Center in El Reno, are now offering courses in wind energy.
