From one of the articles:
"Rock Port, Missouri is set to become the first city in America capable of meeting 100% of its electricity demand with wind power. The town will use power generated from Wind Capital Group's Loess Hills facility, located on agricultural lands within the city limits of Rock Port. The facility produces up to 16 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually, which exceeds the 13 million kWh Rock Port uses each year on average. "
It misleading, but then its journalism, so what do we expect.
It implies that the town runs 100% on wind energy, when this clearly cannot be the case, as it will need a substantial backup, and one would hop be hooked to a grid with surrounding towns and cities.
