Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Tuesday it has introduced its first on-site, large-scale wind turbine project, unveiled at its distribution center in Red Bluff, Calif. The wind turbine, expected to be operational by this fall, will provide roughly one megawatt of power or 15% to 20% of the distribution center's yearly electrical use. Walmart hopes to be supplied by 100% renewable energy, said Greg Pool, senior manager of renewable energy and emissions at Walmart and project manager of the Red Bluff installation.
