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.
My sister and brother-in-law have a farm. They have the tractors and winches to maintain a windmill... it generates a LOT of electricity which they sell back to the electric company.
this method is way to complicated for us and we don't have enough wind but it is an alternative for people who live on a farm and love machines.
Mike & Rog at base of Windmill on Wolfe Island near Kingston, Ontario, Canada. There are 60-80 of these which will provide Hydro power soon. The guys look like ants.
These are pictures taken at the "Grand Ridge Windfarm" in LaSalle county Illinois. When complete there will be more than 100 windmills situated in the area. These particular wind generators are located very near the LaSalle Nuclear Power Station. An interesting combination of electrical power generating.
