Reno First in Nation

Reno is the first U.S. city to install wind turbines atop its city hall, several Reno officials boasted Wednesday while showing off the “hoop” turbines on the roof.

The city also is the first agency conducting research to test the strengths and weaknesses of seven different turbines, which will be reported to the U.S. Department of Energy, said Jason Geddes, city energy administrator. He said results from the first four of nine turbines to be installed around the city will be put on the city’s web site by the end of June. While national ratings now exist for solar panels, Geddes said none exist for wind turbines.
