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.

Perhaps some enterprising filmmaker will consider building a story around a recent event in rural Oregon that involved another form of energy. [bold, links added]


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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
