Looking out across the Blackwater Canyon from Lindy Point. Wind turbines in the distance on Backbone Mountain. Like in most parts of the country, wind is one of fastest growing sources of electricity in West Virginia. Every time you go there, more and more ridges have wind turbines. Not only do they have high, narrow windy ridges, the state has good electrical connections to metropolitan areas in other states due to the overbuilt grid, a legacy of coal generation.
