The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has set a goal of obtaining at least 5 percent of U.S. electricity needs from wind power by the year 2020. This means that the demand for “green energy,” such as wind power, is growing. One company that has taken full advantage of wind power’s exploding growth is ATI Casting Service in Alpena, Michigan. As a member of the American Wind Energy Association, ATI Casting Service has been involved in the wind industry for more than 15 years.

“Wind energy is environmentally friendly and the price of wind is not going to change, it’s always free—unlike coal, natural gas, or nuclear fuels,” says ATI Casting Service president, David Neil. “This fact, along with the DOE’s 2020 goal, has caused a rush to produce wind turbines and to get them onto towers to start producing energy. Our customer base has grown as well as the demand of our existing customers.”
