Repower South Dakota blew into Howard on Thursday to tout Knight & Carver Wind Group’s blade manufacturing plant - as well as the estimated 5,000 clean energy jobs it says can be generated in South Dakota through federal climate legislation.

The American Clean Energy and Security Act seeks to decrease greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent and drop global temperatures by 3.6 degrees by 2050. It also calls for creating green energy jobs to wean the nation off foreign oil.
