It's kind of cool. A data center run by renewable wind energy. I'm sure they take alot of energy otherwise. Lots of energy and money will be saved with this. And it is located in my city. Makes me want to put a server there.

Heck video game companies might like a nice place for their servers. The midwest needs good servers.

Thats cool, but what happens when the wind stops? Do they store energy or just go off currently blowing wind? Either way, thats still really cool. :)

I would imagine they're using flywheel technology.
Just incase power from the wind turbines sag, or blacks out completly.
