Wind Farm

On the way to Palm Springs, I spotted this wind farm at the foot of the San Bernadino Mountains. After some research on the internet, it says the wind speed must be at least 13mph (21km/h) before the blades turn. This particular farm contains 4000 windmills with the largest ones standing at 150 feet tall and can power Palm Springs and the surrounding areas.

I think I want to invest in wind farms, they are huge and growing in west Texas.

Harnessing the wind is a great way to go.
I think the turbines around the Pacheco Pass are so fascinating. Great pictures.
I want to wish you a very Happy New Year of health, joy and peace.

i love your picture, and i love this scenery everytime we go to the desert, just lovely and interesting and inspiring how we can generate energy from the wind. I have not seen a huge windmill farm elsewhere at all except there at Palm Springs area.
