Ikea Buys Massive Wind Farm

Wind power is gradually going mainstream in spite of isolated pockets of resistance and propaganda to the contrary:

"Ikea announced the purchase of a 98-megawatt wind farm—its first—in the United States yesterday. That's 380 gigawatt hours of renewable energy a year, enough to produce 165 percent of the electricity consumed by Ikea U.S. The 49-turbine farm in Hoopeston, Illinois, is Ikea's single largest renewable investment and is expected to start spinning by 2015."
