While at the Wind Museum …..

The Wind Museum in Lubbock, Texas has several types of windmills. 

They had just finished assembling and hooking to Excel Energy and the power grid a huge wind machine.

Although, we know those things are huge, standing in front of them really shows how huge they are.  Terry is 6’2″ tall….he looks like a elf! 🙂

  1. You have to get right up next to those big windmills to really appreciate their size. We have a whole windmill farm on a windy ridge near here. Generating a lot of electricity and a lot of complaints from those who want to develop real estate. It’s always something….

  2. There is a company here that manufactures wind turbines and every now and then we see them on a semi…it takes one oversized trailer just for a single blade of the propeller. They are huge!!

  3. Here in Maine we have several small windfarms. In upstate New York, hubby and I were just mesmerized as we came across a huge windfarm. When the blades were turning, it made me think of aliens swooping down, trying to carry us away LOL. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving my friend. A winter storm is heading our way!

  4. This must be a new museum….newer than 11 years, I am guessing, which was the last time I drove through Lubbock. I guess that isn’t so new, after all—boy, time gets away from you, doesn’t it!? I remember the Texas Tech U Pioneer Heritage Museum. We were always fascinated by the Barton house since my maiden name is Barton! Interesting post!
