Where does Wind Power come from? Climbing Inside a Wind Turbine

http://www.firstwind.com/media_center for more videos from First Wind about wind energy.

Find out what the inside of a wind turbine looks like and how it works as Liz from First Wind embarks on the 6 minute climb inside the tower to the top.

@caribousteaks

The nuclear industry is HEAVILY subsidized to the tune of tens of billions of dollars per year.

cool and freaky at the same time. I would have crapped my pants then pass out if i went up that high

Free? Wind? Those things are expensive, last I heard there wasn't a single one in existence that hadn't been subsidized or put in place without mandatory federal or state regulation. Take away subsidies and mandates and I doubt there would be a single turbine running. Tell this to the people of Cape Cod Piece. Tell that to the late Ed Kennedy, tell that to the bird freaks. What about the steel, fibre glass, concrete and plastic (oil/gas) used to manufacture said behemoth?

@Nickmitchell1984 Yeah, I mean going back and re-torquing something someone screwed up after the crane crawled away!

[Nickmitchell1984]

@theninja001 well normally id climb, then use the crane for the pump haha

[theninja001]

@Nickmitchell1984 Yeah, but how fast can you climb pulling a high-torque pump?

The efficiency of wind turbines has been proven. Many countries are patronizing wind energy since it is clean, free and safe. It's beneficial to everybody. Our energy consumption are getting out of control because of the many inventions that were developed. Wind turbines can be of help to provide an additional power supply.
