Rock Port, MO - As energy costs go up, we're all looking for ways to save money. Just down I-29, an entire town takes action and risks on a power supply right outside their back door. Someday, it may be a money-saver.
 
Look down the road on this Rock Port farm, you'll see the spinning shadows over the corn fields. Look up and see the giant blades that power the town.
 
"It's the way to go with electricity as far as I can see," Steve Scamman says.
 

Surrounded by a cornfield and trees sits one of the state’s newer power plants.
 
There are no telltale signs of a power plant — no long lines of railroad cars filled with coal, no cooling towers releasing steam clouds, no smokestacks or big transformers.
 
As the sun grows the corn, it also makes power on the roof of a metal building — anywhere from 150 to 750 kilowatt hours per day, or enough to meet the needs of 15 typical houses.
