Located in Mississauga, the 102-foot-high wind turbine generates up to 50 kilowatts of power and could produce up to 80 percent of the station's power needs.
The agency also showcased two of GO Transit's environmentally responsible transportation options -- a 78-seat double-decker bus and a 45-foot hybrid bus,
both equipped with bike racks. Starting April 25, customers will see bike racks on all GO buses.
