B. Wind Energy 1. Introduction South Dakota has enormous potential for wind energy development. Due to the fact that South Dakota with it great plains are an ideal site for wind farms since the plains have smooth hill tops that can catch prevailing winds. This is why South Dakota ranks sixth in the United States for potential in generating more electricity from wind. As of today South Dakota produces 26 percent of their electricity from wind. We have the potential to double this amount if…

had to keep driving. Leo and Karli started talking and then both of them heard whooshing winds.
