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.

New big wind turbines in Iowa are over 350 feet to the hub.

Not all of them. The ice rink near my house has one and the blades aren’t as ‘long as a boxcar’. There are various designs and heights depending upon the area they are placed, local wind, generator placed on the pylon, etc.

Some aren’t much taller than the old traditional windmills of old, though they tend to be thinner.
