The US$10 million wind farm's wind turbines are highly visible for miles in all directions, and have become a tourist attraction, regularly hosting busloads of school children. A solar-powered kiosk on the site gives data to visitors about the project, the current wind speed, and real-time power generation. [3]
In the United Kingdom, a project will trial cutting blades into strips for use as rebar in concrete, with the aim of reducing emissions in the construction of High Speed 2. [112] Used wind turbine blades have been recycled by incorporating them as part of the support structures within pedestrian bridges in Poland [113] and Ireland. [114]
[60] [61] Large projects are required to deliver the wind energy to markets where the power is needed. In Colorado, Xcel Energy approved a $1.7 billion project for power line transmission of 560 miles. [62] In Europe, wind has faced similar pressures from global steel prices, in addition to pressure resulting from Russia's war in Ukraine.
The Desert Wind Wind Energy Project proposed by Atlantic Wind was completed in 2016. The project comprises 104 wind turbines (208 MW) within a 2,513-acre portion of a 24,242-acre review area located 7.5 miles west of Elizabeth City .

The windmill was designed in 1896 after being commissioned by Wright's aunts, Jane and Ellen Lloyd Jones, who needed the windpump to provide water for their school, [2] the Hillside Home School. The diamond-shaped portion of the windmill intersects the portion with the balcony that sits on an octagonal structure. The balcony is accessible ...
SunZia Wind is a 3.5-gigawatt wind farm being developed in New Mexico, United States, in Lincoln County, San Miguel County and Torrance County. [1] When completed, this will be the largest wind project in the western hemisphere. [ 2 ]
