North Point

Love them or hate them, windmills generating electricity are here to stay and are part of the green energy future for areas where they make sense like the windy point of North Cape of PEI that has very few days that are not windy. Besides harvesting wind energy on the North Cape they also harvest Irish Moss during the summer month, Irish moss is a sea algae that is dried and made commercially into a dairy thickener for products like ice cream. The mills you see in this shot are part of WEICan Canada's R&D facility for harsh environment wind testing, with the North Cape providing salt spray, extreme cold and high winds; ideal for the testing of turbines designed for isolated areas.
