Wind Turbines in Cuxhaven
My godfather took me onto the property where the tripods are being manufactured for off-shore wind turbines. The operation is so large, that Cuxhaven had to agree to enhance their harbor, before the big business would show up with the operation. One single €12M turbine is 110m tall, and powers approximately 17,000 German homes. Several land-based turbines are operating in the area, just to put the prototypes through their paces. Sheep are seen grazing around some of the turbines... all the signs of high civilization that are a breath of fresh air to this American.
