Altamont Pass is in the Livermore, CA area, and is about 20 miles from the coast. Most of the installed massive windfarms in CA are in mountain passes, 20-30 miles from the Coast. Tehachapi, San Gorgonio, and Altamont. The world’s largest windfarm is now being assembled near Mohave, where the Tehachapi farm is already covering the mountainside/pass. The additional 9000 acres of propellers will add to the “Environmentally friendly” (/sarc) landscape there as you drive for miles on Rte. 58 past the propeller fields.

Looks yucky to fill a mountainside with turbines, and is it even an optimum wind spot? Why aren’t the turbines leaned in order to face more squarely into the winds traveling up the slopes, if that’s where they are?
