I used power point to make this slide show video of the construction of our GE 1.5 Mw Wind Turbine @ Mesalands Community College, Tucumcari NM. one of a few colleges that have their own industrial Megawatt Wind Turbine.
PLEASE if you like this video share it with your friends
Here are some stats of this turbine
a General Electric 1.5 Megawatt ESS Wind Turbine
1 Megawatt of electricity can supply 300-400 homes
stands 254 feet to the hub, 391 feet highest blade reach
the tower is sectioned into 3 parts,
the base is 64 feet tall and 62.4 tons
mid section is 82 feet and 41.7 tons
top section is 98 feet and 33 tons
the nacelle weighs 61 tons and hold the gearbox and generator that turn the wind in electricity
each blade is 121 feet long and each weigh 7 tons.
this video is actually the second one i made of the turbine. the first was on my first channel that i had before i was SkeptikSnarf - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzmGt4b4kMo

I find it to be an honor to be one of those you chose to share this with. I envy you! I've been bitching at my government job to get some renewable energy, and they look at me, furrow their brows, scratch their heads, and do nothing. (sigh)
Please continue to share your experience so we can educate the ignorant.
faved, and shared
