Those things are huge. A blade can be larger than a tractor-trailer. Such a wind turbine is whirling three of those blades at one time.

The farmer who rents the field says he’s not a fan of wind turbines.

I bet if he owned the land and received a royalty on the energy produced he’d sing a different tune.

How many birds were killed by this turbine windmill? PETA and the SPCA want to know?

Hungry, not-working farmers/help don’t care. Free birds for dinner instead of years old cheese. /sarc

Those are babies compared to the newest ones for offshore installation. They are about 750 feet in diameter, about twice the size of these pikers in Iowa.

Wind energy is a pipe dream scam.

It takes a lot of fossil fuels to make one of those.

I wonder what the break-even point is on operating one is.

Democrat Response: Well, there are still 2 blades left on the turbine, so at least you can run it at more than half power.

Are the blades armor protected? An aquaintance wants to know.
