THE PROBLEM IS...
McDonald Farm is already using many forms of green energy to power their farm. Their sixty foot tall wind turbine has been a successful part of their green energy campaign, and they are considering adding another bigger turbine (similar to the ones we saw at the DeKalb wind farm) to increase their green energy production.
They would like our recommendations, as scientists studying wind energy. Based on your research, what should our advice be? Should a larger wind turbine be added? Why or why not?
