Look Up: Life Is Hard Down On The Wind Farm
Hollywood suffers from no lack of creativity when it comes to conjuring an imagined world devastated by fossil fuels.

Ted Sickinger of The Oregonian reports:
In the early hours of Feb. 1, one of the spinning blades on a turbine at Portland General Electric’s Biglow Canyon wind farm in Sherman County launched into the night.
The 135-foot piece of fiberglass, wood and metal weighs more than seven tons.
It flew the full length of a football field.
