Krystal Planet Announces Educational Wind Turbine Program
Lenexa, KS, January 11, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Krystal Planet Corporation, an ENERGY STAR Partner, announces today its plans to construct at least three educational wind turbines at schools in the United States this year. Three schools will be selected by reviewing applications from interested school administrators. The first three wind turbines will be installed at a school in the Midwest, east coast, and west coast. These wind turbines will save money on electricity for the schools, provide a hands-on clean power learning experience for kids in science classes, and demonstrate the viability and affordability of wind energy technologies.
The wind turbines to be installed will be the largest available from Southwest Windpower at the time of installation (www.windenergy.com). The first wind turbine is expected to be installed in the Kansas City area by March 31st, pending final zoning approval. Krystal Energy Corporation, Krystal Planet’s parent company, will pay for 100% of the cost of the turbine, related equipment, and installation. The school will pay a discounted rate for the electricity it produces (where allowed by law) or a modest lease payment. These funds, after expenses, will be used to develop additional wind turbines and further support The Freedom Plan, a method to convert America to 100% clean power in 10 years.
For every customer of the FutureWind(sm) Green Power Certificate (GPC), Krystal Planet donates a minimum of 16% on their behalf to construct a new wind turbine to reduce greenhouse gases and pollution from burning fossil fuels at conventional power plants. The GPCs (also known as Green Tags) from that wind turbine can be sold to others in the community to expand the program by adding additional wind turbines or solar panels at the school.
“We are thrilled to provide these educational and environmental benefits, as well as cost savings, to schools across America. Although these wind turbines are smaller than utility-scale turbines, we can install them much faster with a greater impact. Plus, the energy savings will presumably go right back into the classroom” says Troy Helming, founder and CEO. “A number of schools have expressed interest in the program and hope to provide turbines to all of them as our FutureWind(sm) customer base grows.”
