An increase of wind in Illinois and across the country? Climate and energy experts explain

The spring season is almost over, and looking back, did it seem much more windier than usual? It does seem like a lot of people share the same sentiment these days. 

And there has been reporting to suggest that is the case, with some sources saying that this spring has been one of the windiest on record for the country overall, with some states setting a new record themselves. What makes for windier conditions and how do you record such data?  Is this a trend that will soon become the norm and what do windier conditions mean for our ag and energy production sectors? 

Experts in climate studies and clean energy join the program to answer these questions.
