White Deer Windpark
 
Beautiful and controversial shot of Jesus RIP on cross in front of a Wind Turbine Skyline at White Deer which is Shell WindEnergy’s second major commercial project in the US. The 80 megawatt (MW) wind power facility is located 40km north-east of Amarillo, Texas. The White Deer project consists of 80 Mitsubishi 1MW turbines. The turbines are located in two groups, either side of a north-south running stream. The terrain consists of a slightly elevated area in a region of flat farming terrain and the land surrounding the turbines continues to be used for farming activities. The local area also contains small oil producing wells, and is traversed by several gas pipelines.

Each year, the project is estimated to produce enough power to meet the energy needs of around 24,000 American households.

As much as 5000 Turbins scattered around the pass. Many are more then 30 years old. Only now wind energy is getting the boost it deserves.

There is quite a few dozen around the Mojave Desert near Tehachapi pass.  Remember the Wind Rush in the 70′s and 80′s. There are over 5000 wind turbines in the area, many of them don’t turn at all!

A 43-storey residential tower being built by developers Multiplex Living. Around 30% of the 408 apartments will be affordable, while special wind turbines will help bring energy costs down by 40 per cent. Phase one of the residential units were sold off plan within 24 hours. Subsequent phases will be sold in the future.
