Meyersdale Wind Farm


I found myself working in Meyersdale, PA today. They have a large wind farm there up on the ridge. We couldn't see it for the fog so at the end of the day we ran up on top of the hill to get a better look. Even up close you could barely see two windmills. I think there are something like 20 towers. By the way, these suckers are big.

We have a lot of wind farms in this part of Texas. You're right; those suckers are enormous.

I want one.

They are big. Each one is roughly the size of a 747 and provides enough electricity for the equivalent of 250-300 homes.

Great photo.
