Budweiser uses wind power to brew beer

Considering that the cost and price of wind and solar energy has fallen to the point where it is almost as competitive with other forms of fossil fuel, Budweiser has decided to use wind power to brew beer. Specifically, Budweiser agreed to take roughly half of the electricity from the $435 million wind farm in the Thunder Ranch deal, which produces enough electricity to power nearly 90,000 homes. Technology companies including Facebook, Google, and Amazon often participate in these deals to support use of renewable energy to evade blame for emissions of greenhouse gases and grasp control over substantial electricity costs.
