Lincoln Electric Wind Tower Build Timelapse

In the spring of 2011, Lincoln Electric erected a 2.5-megawatt wind turbine at its world headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. The turbine stands over 400 feet tall from base to tip of blade, and is anticipated to provide 10 percent of Lincoln Electric's local manufacturing electrical needs. The project represents Lincoln Electric's dedication to integrating renewable energy sources into our manufacturing processes, as well as a symbol of our commitment to the wind tower fabrication industry.

As a resident of Euclid, Ohio, I can tell you, quite frankly, this thing is massive.

I thought the windmill at the science center was large, this thing dwarfs them by 5 times easily. It's what I would expect :)

Now put a thousand of them on Lake Erie and we can supply Cleveland like Detroit Edison 3 GW coal burners do :)

It is a sight to behold.
