—and plenty of Wyoming coal to the north for the backup conventional power plant-—
There's at least two HUGE (and I mean HUGE) wind mills in SW Wyoming, not far from the UT border.....way bigger than the ones I've seen in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Plenty of wind, too.
The plant, said Ole Borup Jacobsen, president of Vestas Blades, will be in full operation within eight months and will operate seven days a week, 24 hours per day, manufacturing not only the 120-foot wind turbine blades but 132-foot blades as well.
Michael Jacobsen, project manager for the Windsor plant, said the facility will be comprised of four product lines, 500 feet in length that can produce one blade every 24 hours each. In addition, there will be a 400-foot long finishing line and a painting facility.
