This $1.5 billion wind farm -- a US-China joint venture paid for in part by Chinese banks -- will be built not with turbines from usual suspects GE or Vestas, but with Chinese-made machines from a year-old company called A-Power.
Needless to say, most of the project's green jobs will be created in China. And don't shoot the messenger, but it's hoping to secure 30 percent, or $450 million, of its financing from, yes, U.S. stimulus funds.
Heaven? Please... put these eyesores offshore where they don't blight the landscape and give everyone in the vicinity a headache with the hum. This is not a green solution, no matter how they are photographed in sunsets, etc.
I used to live in Palm Desert, California, so your windmill video reminds me of Palm Desert! I drove on Fwy 10 so many times to see these power generating windmills! I always felt like finally entering Palm Springs when I passed them driving from west! Thank you for posting your video, and I enjoyed watching it! Have a Great Day:-)
