"Rock Port Missouri, population 1,300, is the first 100% wind powered city in the US. Loess Hill Wind Farm, with four 1.25-MW wind turbines, is
estimated to generate 16 gigawatt hours (16 million kilowatt hours) of
electricity annually. 13 gigawatts hours of electricity have
historically been consumed annually by the residents and businesses of
this town."
