DALLAS, Aug 13, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- BroadStar Wind Systems has reached an agreement with JCPenney to install AeroCam wind turbines at the major U.S. retailer's 1.6 million-square-foot distribution center in Reno, Nevada.

The pilot program will utilize BroadStar's innovative, building-mounted AeroCam wind turbines, which capture wind energy and generate power more efficiently than conventional propeller and fixed-blade turbines. After installation is completed in November 2008, JCPenney will purchase electricity generated by the system from BroadStar.

"This endorsement by JCPenney is particularly pleasing to our efforts," said Stephen Else, president of BroadStar Wind Systems. "The commitment by JCPenney to adopting renewable energy is indicative of a major and emerging trend in U.S. retailers to utilize their own facilities and resources to help solve the electric generation and transmission issues we face in North America. Penney's endorsement of AeroCam technology represents a great move forward in the adoption of wind turbines in the emerging commercial wind space."

1. Reno seems to be a center of Green Energy

They have wind and solar. I wouldn't be suprised if they Hydo Electric nearby.

2. It's close to mountains so I suppose it has lots of winds coming down from them.
