Clean, renewable energy is becoming a core part of Puget Sound Energy’s power supply. pse’s goal is to meet up to 10 percent of its customers’ total electricity need with cost-effective renewable resources by 2013. A major step in that direction is pse’s ownership and operation of two large wind farms in Washington state. More info located at: www.pse.com

    Why is Puget sound energy building a turbine farm 200 miles away? Half of them are stopped at any one time, and they are stopped when it is cold or too windy. Why don’t they put them over next to the ocean, where the wind is constant, and they won’t ice up and stop in the winter? When it nears 100 degrees, the wind in these areas stops because of high pressure. That is when we need the power the most. In the winter, if it is foggy and below 32 degrees, they stop because of ice build up.

    I made the Bearings for these in Canton Ohio. Timkens. It wasn’t easy.

    I was making fun of all the right-wing bush, reagan, mc cain etc.CONServative nuts down here in the USA. With all non-sense they speak it would not surprise me if they said the above Giant Fan-muslim “green” president comment.

    @kdc43 You’re not making any sense boy.

  7. CulturePeaceForever — March 11, 2010 @ 6:22 am

    It could be a very good addition.

    I now realize where all this wind is coming from. It’s these Giant Fans going up everywhere!! I bet it’s these commie-alqada terrorists! They turn these fans on “High” and blow up some wind storms, tornados and hurricanes. Now that America has a muslim “green” president….he gonna blow the USA clean off the Earth!!!!

    I belong to Puget Sound Energy’s Green Power Program in order to make it happen here in Washington.

    Why not in Europe? In the northern european country of Denmark, which is where Vestas comes from, wind turbines cover twenty-some percent of that nation’s electricity requirements…
    And NanOTubeU has got it right: This technology needs to be employed everywhere…

  12. HiTekVagabond — March 11, 2010 @ 9:15 am

    There is not a lot of room inside the tower. Grain elevators work far better for storing grain.

  13. NanOTubeU — March 11, 2010 @ 9:21 am

    the question is, why not in the whole world.

  14. joemc111 — March 11, 2010 @ 9:43 am

    ha how about storing the grain inside of the tower” anyone ever thought of that.

    Yes, and thanks, I’ve enjoyed them.–Tom Gray, American Wind Energy Association

    The blades could have been made right here in the Seattle area by Boeing with 777 carbon fiber technology. Just think we could be exporting wind turbines instead of talking about moving Boeing to Chicago or Kansas City.

    They should have bought GE wind towers and help create American jobs.

  18. nicoletdk — March 11, 2010 @ 10:52 am

    They (Vestas) are building the blades in the US because these turbines are delivered in the US. Blades are VERY complex to transport. They recently have opened two new giant towers and blades manufacturing sites in Colorado.

    Its a beauty!;-)

  21. Wojciechprv — March 11, 2010 @ 1:06 pm

    The question is not why in states is question why not in Europ.

  22. ScareMouth — March 11, 2010 @ 1:10 pm

    Yeah, they need jobs too. More than americans.

  23. trancefreak92 — March 11, 2010 @ 1:15 pm

  24. TreeHugged — March 11, 2010 @ 1:26 pm
