Red Rock Wind Energy was announced publicly to local and national media on December 11th, 2008. Local media outlets, including the Estherville Daily News, the Wallaces Farmer website, and the Agri News amongst others, ran news about the development creating a buzz in the community.
However, little did anyone know that Red Rock Wind Energy would attract national attention until Fox Business News called. They wanted to feature the project on their live, 24-hour news channel. So on December 18th, 2008, Al Blum, Chairman of Red Rock Wind Energy, took the spotlight for the development, talking briefly about the project’s formation, about National Wind, and about our community-based wind approach.

“It was an exciting opportunity for Red Rock Wind Energy,” says Blum. “Although it was only a couple minutes of fame for our wind energy company, hopefully it generated some general awareness across the U.S. not only about Red Rock, but about community-based wind energy.”

As Red Rock Wind Energy’s progresses, more press releases will be created for distribution, with hopes of creating more than just a couple minutes of “fame” for the project.

“It was definitely a good thing for the project and it was a privilege to represent the company. Hopefully we can get the chance to do more things like this for Red Rock Wind Energy in the future,” Blum says.
