The first electricity-generating wind turbine was a battery charging machine installed in July 1887 by Scottish academic James Blyth to light his holiday home in Marykirk, Scotland. Some months later American inventor Charles F. Brush was able to build the first automatically operated wind turbine after consulting local University professors and colleagues Jacob S. Gibbs and Brinsley Coleberd and successfully getting the blueprints peer-reviewed for electricity production in Cleveland, Ohio. Although Blyth's turbine was considered uneconomical in the United Kingdom, electricity generation by wind turbines was more cost effective in countries with widely scattered populations
With light and variable morning winds a Laysan albatross majestically checks the direction. Large birds built for dynamic soaring, albatross benefit from the airspeed lift provided by a headwind, without which they may not be able to takeoff. After determining wind speed and direction, this one clumsily walked considerable distance to find a clearing with enough running room for liftoff in a light sea breeze. After airborne on two meters of high aspect ratio wingspan, this beautiful mōlī gracefully glided across the breeding grounds in lazy eights then banked out to sea. Albatross spend many solitary months and thousands of nomadic miles at sea only returning to land to nest. O871 was banded as a chick at Kaena Point NAR in 2013.

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand, along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

They rise out of this ethereal flat landscape, seemingly eternal in their motion, yet without progress. A Phillip Glass ballet where each has its own timing for the repetitive choreography.
