well tailored to your needs.

Then fan the flame and keep the dream alive....."

How unsettling is to walk in the car on a lonely street cover about gold and black fields as in a desert where these wind turbines work and work. Spectral, worrying and magnific in the same time…

 

One of several sailboats we saw with a wind turbine mounted on the rear mast. Go to a larger size to see the system. It's remarkably compact. Looks like one of the Rutland models.

These are photos on the road from Kabul to Jalalabad (sorry Mom).

 

Notes:

I've geotagged the photos, so check out the location on the map (lower left)

These were taken at-speed, so I'm not entirely happy with the focus in all of them, so my apologies

~Switch off the mind and let the heart decide

~who you were meant to be

(windpower!)

~Flick to remote and let the body glide

~There is no enemy !

 

(windpower!)

 

~Etch out a future of your own design

~Well tailored to your needs

(windpower!)

~Then fan the flame and keep the dream alive

~Of a continent

~A continent, a continent, a continental... -

 

. . .

 

~Shatter the lens and grind it into sand

~One measured exposure

~Scatter the seed and furrow in our land

~The future is roses! Roses!

Congressman Blumenauer spoke to a crowd of wind energy enthusiasts at the Oregon Museuem of Science and Industry (OMSI) at a free educational event celebrating wind energy development in the Pacific Northwest. It featured a high-tech wind farm control center; wind tunnel tests and wild birds from the Gorge. Joining the Congressman was Senator Ron Wyden and Kevin Lynch from Iberdrola Renewables. The Congressman talked about the many ways that Oregon is becoming North America's wind energy capital.

The day after the typhoon

With the growth of Wind power and the new "Wind farms" expanding it was bound to happen. I was coming in from hunting on Saturday and had to wait while these trucks headed out from a truck stop. There were 3 truck each carrying 2 blades that must have been at least 75 feet long, if not more. The blades don't really look that large when they are mounted but .... if you look at the series you can see how long they really are.
