wind turbines outside of SD, CA. A lucky shot while zipping by at about 85MPH. (Jeff was driving, I promise!)
This area of Mexico is notorious for the wind and drivers of RVs are advised to tie down their awnings or risk having them ripped off. The wind is surely strong but ............. the windmills go on and on and on and on. This shot captures only a fraction of the turbines. It is an awsome area to drive through.

Whitelee is the UK's largest onshore windfarm, located on Eaglesham Moor just 20 minutes from central Glasgow. Its 215 turbines generate up to 539 megawatts of electricity, enough to power just under 300,000 homes.
With more than 130 kilometers of trails to explore, on foot, by cycle or by horse, with free parking and free entry to our onsite visitor centre, Whitelee is a great destination for a day out with the whole family.
298,837 homes per year based on the expected average capacity factor of 27% and an average annual domestic electricity usage of 4,266kWh

I was very impressed by the extensive Wind Turbines in the state of Iowa. I know there are plenty of states producing wind power, but in my travels, these turbines are the most I've seen in one place. Good for Iowa.
It was very difficult to get good shots of these turbines while driving. I hope to make another trip for a close-up view.

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…

As Greg Gaudet explains, the water heaters are made by Marathon and are super insulated, allowing water to be heated to 77 degrees C under the control of Summerside’s smart grid. The water heaters lose only one-quarter of a degree per hour and have mixing valves on top to mix the super hot water with cold water to ensure the home gets hot water that’s not too hot to use, about 60 degrees C.

Which really has little to do with this photo other than perhaps the car zipping along the two lane... but it worked for me. Spring rains rolled in this afternoon; I really like the cloud color this time of evening. This a wind power test facility just South of Boulder, Colorado.
Bloody things! My house is hidden behind the trees but is just to the right of the large torpe coloured house in the middle of the picture .
The noise you can hear is the wind not the turbines, So far they have been inaudible at my home which is a great relief.
There are 7 of these 355 foot turbines about 700-1000 metres away from my home ruining what was until a few months ago an attractive open rural area. Now it is an industrial site .
Here's the area immediately adjacent to the wind farm

.Imo wind turbines are massively subsidized white elephants that despoil otherwise attractive landscapes. They produce no power whatsoever on the coldest wind free days in winter and require backing up by fossil fuels/nuclear power stations.No storage facilities are being built to store the excess power they generate on windy days when believe it or not the national grid pays them not to produce power!
They cost each household in the Uk about £100 per annum on their fuel bills and this is set to double in a few years.
Currently wind farms produce a tiny proportion of the power the UK needs at enormous expense and are a blight on the landscape
There are far better,cheaper and more reliable ways of reducing CO2 outputs and I am in favour of using these alternative methods

Installed 2/27/2009
This windfarm was one of the early windpower installations in England. They have been erected now for more than twenty years. I would love to see an economic analysis of their performance. Twenty years is long enough to make a sound judgement. There are thirteen 500kW turbines in this installation. In recent years the numbers of turbines along this road has increased with several much larger turbines having been installed, not without, it has to be said, significant local opposition. The objections to wind turbines are mainly about visual impact, and noise. Environmentally they are sound propositions. It is possible to graze cattle in the fields. De-commissioning is simple (compared to a nuclear installation). They produce very little, if any, pollution.
On this afternoon there was a strong westerly blowing, 20 gusting to 40mph. The noise is significant, but there is little housing in the close vicinity. I was brought up in a nearby pit village, and the visual impact of a colliery was slightly more significant than that of a windfarm. The burden of energy production on local communities has to be shared.
