  1. A very necessary resource in this age of renewable energy. I remember when the EcoTech Centre in Norfolk was the only place I knew with a wind turbine; now they're everywhere, even out at sea.

  4. Wonder if it is a blow off chimney for the by wind generated airstream in the turbine.

  10. Wonderful photo and I did a search on "Wind Turbine Training Tower" to find out more information on it. (I never knew about such a thing.) Very interesting. (I also like your blog header photo. I think you might have changed it recently.)

  17. Love your header pic, Bill! Wind turbines seem to be popping up everywhere but here there is a real backlash against them - people claim the they give them headaches and give them diseases. There doesn't seem to be any evidence but who knows.

  20. This is sort of an enigma to me; I find myself wondering how a wind turbine training tower is used.
