Maine's first wind farm...with 115 foot blades over 260 feet in the air! The Mars Hill Maine wind farm can meet the energy needs of 45,000 homes and more projects are in the hearing stage on the state level in other parts of the state.  Maine is positioned to be the number one leader in wind farm generation.  Quite a sight to see.  Saving the town taxpayers money in help to the town budget with revenue generated too!
