Wind Turbines
This is only the first of a collection of photos I will create over time of the new wind turbines north of Muenster, Texas. This project began in April. They are magnificent.

I was reading somewhere on line that some kajillionaire in Texas is going to build the largest array of wind turbines in the world and that the expected output will equal that of a nuclear generating plant. Is THIS the place that it’s being built?
No, this is not the largest right now. I do not know as of yet how big this wind farm will be north of Muenster but I will writing more and posting photographs.
The largest–Abilene Texas:
“The turbines of Horse Hollow, the largest onshore wind farm in the world. Spread out across 100 acres, 421 rotors and their three giant arms rotate continuously, each one turning a three-step gearbox that activates a generator, each sweeping over an area larger than a football field. (Tyghe Trimble, Popular Mechanics, May 17, 2007 ).
Okay. Well the one I have been reading about, I don’t think it’s been built yet. I don’t remember Texas being that windy, but then again, I haven’t been there in quite a long time. It’s a pretty cool state, though, as my travels in a semi going to farms all over these little towns in the middle of nowhere picking up loads of donated food for the hungry had me visiting some pretty incredible people.
