Wind Power

Just a quick little entry… on the way to Corpus Christi Texas, we came upon a land mass near the waters of the Gulf that literally had hundreds on turbine windmills. I’ve seen them on Tv and Movies, but never in person. Bigger than life, majestic, large sweeping propeller arms moving in the wind… they stand like silent giants.

Quite the sight to see. The pedestals reach to about 220 feet high and the arms of the propellers span over 100 feet in length each. Certainly quite the sight to see. In the low laying flatlands near the Gulf, the winds are almost constant making this a ideal location to generate electricity form the wind.
