TThey are installing 38, 400' tall wind turbines on Vasco rd on the Altamont pass


I saw the blades for the turbines staged on special trucks at the CHP Scales on 580 just east of Vasco


Freaking impressive

Saw a bunch of those while driving the moving truck from VT to CO last year. That's a lot of plastic.

Saw 3 of those traveling up the 5 last weekend... Loved the truck leading the way with a height gauge.

Friend of mine has been working for LANL developing better computer models for how those things behave. Some pretty cool stuff.

Vestas makes tower sections bout an hour down the road. They are similar in size, its always impressive to watch them go by. I'd like to watch them be put together one day.
