In a daring display of green chutzpah, a hair care products company called Zotos International, Inc. has seemingly come out of nowhere to grab the title of biggest wind energy generator of any U.S. manufacturer. The company has just won approval install a $7 million, 3.3 megawatt wind power project for its facility in Geneva, New York. The American Wind Energy Association has said that the project is the largest of its kind in the U.S.
The project went through with significant help from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which chipped in about 30% of the cost of the project. Also helping to win approval from Geneva officials was the company’s commitment to donate the equivalent of 5% of the wind power back to the city. It’s all part of Zotos’s plan to achieve 100% renewable energy at the facility by 2011.
