Good news from Colorado Energy News on the Vestas plant in Brighton, Colorado receiving their first order for 55-meter wind turbine blades to be completed by the end of the year. Looks like X-mas comes early for the folks working at that Brighton plant.
And speaking of wind turbine blades, while I was driving down I-76 today I saw a huge turbine blade being transported via semi. It was incredibly long (seemed like a city block) and I wish I could have snapped a picture of it (but I was driving). After it drove by I did wonder how they install those blades. Do they put the tower up first and then add the blades or do they put the whole thing together on the ground and then pull it up via helicopter or crane or what? Any ideas dear readers?
Moving toward a more sustainable, renewable, and efficient world.
How do we get there?
Congratulations... It is really very good news.
ReplyDeleteWow...It sounds good, great news
ReplyDeleteI think the thing holding back solar energy is the lack of support from the energy industry. Its in their interest to keep it that way.
