Oftentimes inequitable circumstances are found in areas with less infrastructure. Providing a clean source of electricity through organizations such as GivePower, can offer residents an opportunity to create a small business. This is important to many because there is increasing recognition that raising the standard of living helps locals become part of the solution. 

Santa Rosa is a relatively small town with few large buildings for placing micro turbines. Several hospital buildings rise to about five stories, which gets turbines above the low level "noisy" wind. There are also some water tanks that might be used for placement as well. 

I think that agricultural areas around Sonoma County would be even better locations for these wind turbines. Such areas get a lot of wind and would also benefit from the local source of electrical power. 

Onshore wind power can be a major player in drawing down carbon. Costs are relatively low (especially when contrasted to permitting and build costs for fossil fuel based power plants) and, with battery technology improving storage options, so wind could be a strong player in the grid in this area.
