On Friday Karen and I packed up the kids in the van and headed down to my parents' farm. The motivation for the trip was to see the wind turbine project in action on and around the road I grew up on. My parents are involved in the first wind turbine project in their county, and are currently having three turbines installed on the farm.
My uncle took all of us around in the van to see the turbines, in various states of being built, and the massive amounts of equipment it takes to put them up. William got the biggest kick out the "mighty machines" being used to put up the turbines.
The weather, although sunny, wasn't the greatest for taking pictures. It was, ironically, incredibly windy and cold. But, seeing the majesty o of the turbines up close was worth a little frost bite. Take a look on my flickr photostream for more pictures of the turbines in various states.
The most interesting shot is a picture of the smoke plumes of the nuclear power plant across Lake Erie clearly visible, with the turbines standing in the foreground. Welcome to green energy.
