The popularity of wind energy around the world is not new news. In Colorado we can see evidence of this as the tall turbines that dot the landscape of our high plains!
This morning I had a fun experience as we were out and about early to see turbine parts being transported by train.
Each blade took up TWO flatbed cars. The train must have been a mile long, for all I could see was turbine blade after blade!
It was amazing!
I don't often think of "how did this get there" when I see the turbine towers across the state. I do marvel at their size and really love the idea of using wind for energy. But now that I've witnessed these parts in transit, I have a new-found appreciation for how much this industry and science is impacting our country.
Enjoy my images, taken from the passenger seat of a almost speeding car!
