unc,
I recall when that happened, I was getting ready to be a senior in high school. But I would not want to be where that crazy fuck was...sorry, not there.
Tul,
I believe that location is actually a bit too far south of where I am, but since I am not far from there and I am at a wind farm, I want to give you this win.
I'm at the Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center, currently the largest wind farm in the world.
In fact, I was surprised that U.S. currently has the highest installed capacity of wind power in the world.
The United States was the second largest installed capacity of wind power, after Germany until 2008, when it surpassed Germany with the American Wind Energy Association stating that the United States had 21,000 MW of wind energy capacity at the end of 2008. A total of 8,538 MW were added in 2008. At the end of March 2008 the United States wind power capacity was 18,302 MW, which is enough to serve 4.9 million average households. Currently, the largest wind farm in the US – and the largest in the world – is Florida Power & Light's Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center, located in Taylor County, Texas. The Horse Hollow project operates 421 wind turbines and has a capacity of 735 megawatts. Prior to Horse Hollow's completion, the largest US wind farm was the Stateline Wind Project on the Oregon-Washington line, with a peak capacity of 300 megawatts.
cheating a bit since this pic is nor really Horse Hollow...but you get the idea:
