The Rattlesnake Creek Wind Project in Dixon County, Nebraska, a wind energy project that had been shelved due to higher costs in 2013, has now been revived by Facebook. As costs for wind energy and energy storage are going down constantly, the project now demonstrates that businesses can drive the demand for clean energy.

The $430 million, 320 megawatt project will cover 32,000 acres, and landowners in the region all profit.
