Pincher Creek, nestled against the Rockies in Southwestern Alberta, enjoys the warm Chinook winds that compress and warm as they rush down the eastern slopes.  This wind regime has been mapped to record areas where wind-plants can be most economically sited. 

This non-polluting source of renewable energy is fed into the provincial electrical grid that powers Southern Alberta industries and residences. 

Calgary's public transit system purchases this green energy for the C-Trains that speed transit riders across the city. Enmax, a major electrical utility company also purchases green power, as do towns and municipalities that are supplied by the Alberta grid.
