NADB www.nadb.org The first cross - border wind farm has been opened , between the US and Mexico , in a collaborative effort to reduce carbon emissions . The wind farm project will save more than 125,809 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year and 189 metric tons of nitrogen oxides a year from entering the atmosphere and provide power to more than 70,000 households . The project consists of a 30 mile trans - boundary , transmission line made up of 47 wind turbines , each with a nominal capacity of 12 , which will provide a total capacity of 151.1MW of electricity .
