Poor Gust wants to help! But what can he do? The lone wind turbine at a busy port, he watches over everything in the water and on land. The people and machines are always on the move, but not Gust. All day long, the workers swirl around him like the wind while he is stuck standing still. He can't do what everyone else does. Is there a job for Gust? Everything changes one night when Gust asks his friend, the Port Director, for help. His answer surprises Gust - and it might surprise you!

At a time when climate conversations happen at the dinner table, this is the true story of how one small wind turbine made the Port of Milwaukee fully energy independent and produced enough electricity to share with the surrounding city!
