Going Green

Randolph County is fast becoming one of the greenest counties in the state on a per-capita basis. Wind Turbines that generate electricity are popping up all over the county. The reason? Randolph County has the highest average elevation of any county in Indiana with wind patterns perfect for generating electricity via wind turbines.

We are also on the leading edge in the alternative fuels business with Impco Automotive in Union City leading the charge in conversions of trucks and busses to CNG and LPG Bi-Fuel Injection systems.

Finally, Cardinal Ethanol converts corn to ethanol in eastern Randolph County, producing train car loads for use as a gasoline additive and for E85 fuel.
