(AP) -- Officials plan to install a wind turbine at the governor's mansion and make Oklahoma the first state to partially power its governor's residence with wind power.  The department of central services says it will soon install a 10 kilowatt wind turbine on the mansion's grounds.

It's expected the turbine will produce emissions-free power and generate about 13-thousand kilowatt hours of electricity per year. The project is part of an effort to cut energy costs and make government buildings more energy efficient.
