White wind turbines, two stories high,

I don't think this guy did any research on wind turbines. One blade alone is longer than a rail car.

Yeah, I think you’re right on that. Can’t remember but I think they’re at least 180’ ft high Then again I’m not sure what the correct height is for proper bird whacking.

There are ones out in Rio Vista with 96 foot blades which, given their installation put the swing diameter in the neighborhood of 250 feet, and they’re at least twice that above ground.

I have seen them being shipped via 18 wheeler. One blade per truck. Takes a long convoy to ship one windmill.
