Windturbineliftoff2010
July 1, 2010 Red Hill General Store lifted to the sky a 5.5 kilowatt wind turbine on the Horton beef cattle farm in Fancy Gap, Virginia. The Red Hill Breezy lift-off was a celebration attended by 40 community members. The Breezy was built by with off-the-shelf parts and local products, “Building this turbine? I guess it’s the common sense values passed down in Appalachia.” Community members pass the turbine and often stop by for updates. It is routine to look for the spinning yellow popular blades. Perhaps it’s a not just a source of power, but an important connection to the land and the seasonal shifts in wind that make the mountains and our heritage unique.
