Description

this is one of my favorite captures of my recent trip some information about wind turbines, especially about a recent post of turbines from wind farm located in Tehachapi Pass of the Tehachapi Mountains, in Kern County, California Wind power in Texas consists of many wind farms with a total installed nameplate capacity of 12,212 MW from over 40 different projects. Texas produces the most wind power of any U.S. state At the Snyder Wind Project in the west Texas county of Scurry, 21 wind turbines manufactured by Vestas have been installed, each 345 feet tall. These wind turbines, each with a capacity of 3 MW, are the tallest in the United States. The height of wind turbines is based upon an analysis of the site and wind conditions to determine the optimal height for maximum energy production. The Alta Wind Energy Center is a wind farm located in Tehachapi Pass of the Tehachapi Mountains, in Kern County, California. As of 2013, it is the second largest wind farm in the world[1], with a combined installed capacity of 1,320 MW (1,770,000 hp) next only to the Jaisalmer Wind Park in Rajasthan, India. The project, being developed near Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm – site of the first large-scale wind farms installed in the U.S. in the 1970s and 1980s – is "a powerful illustration of the growing size and scope of modern wind projects". There are still 80,000 windmills operating in Texas, used to pump water

You've captured a potential wave farm, but way too pretty to change. Most people have never heard about thorium. It is the best energy source and if you visit http://energyfromthorium.com/ you'll find it very interesting. Especially the analysis for wind!
