Yes thank you .
The 46 of them put in here last fall were 1.7 mil each and are 1.5mw now they are talking about the next group costing 3 mil each WHY almost double in a years time i think the output on them is still the same??
At this rate of cost increase in 2 more years they will not even be cost effective to put up unless of course the consumer cost for power doubles which i am sure is already in the GAME plan.

 

Yeah, I guess it's kind of a pet peeve when reporters go out and interview an expert in whatever the topic is, but the reporters spend more time yacking about their opinion or whatever and they don't let the expert tell them and the viewers about the topic.

 

sure wish i knew the answer to that, if i knew which turbines they were that could help, could be the fuel cost, steel cost, and the fact that EVERYONE is putting in turbines, so there are a million bids out, but not enough contracters to fill the shoes, so they can charge out the "hooooey"

ya o well. my industry is a dang good one and will be very fruitful for me in the future so i do not think a hand fully of "nimby's" are going to bring our program down.

The 46 are vestas and as far as i know the next batch will be the same 1.5mw 290 foot tower with 175 foot blades.
Do they always have the marker lights on a group like this flashing in unison ????
They are spread out over a 7 mile area and i can see them 10 miles away.
