That is cool stuff. I was in France last summer and drove through miles of wind turbine farms. Giant and most were GE.

I remember on our way to Minnesota in '03 we went through North Central Iowa and there were thousands of wind turbines in the distance (mostly West of I-35)... it was pretty cool because that's pretty much the only thing to look at there...

When you're on top of something like that, it usually doesn't matter.

They just showed these on Lost Planet 2007. I didn't know there were so many, 400 something I think they said. Showed 1 family who hasn't paid an electric bill in 6 years.

Yeah, that is a GE 1.5. I have never been up in one.

I took these vids today to show my wife my office.
