ot: Does anyone own one of the new generation of windmills ?

I see those suckers all over the place in the midst of big corn country. They are awesome; I want a slightly smaller version in my yard

I think they're made in Corpus Christi. At least I've told this. I've seen them travel the I-35 corridor a lot. I was amazed at how many of them are in Iowa. Especially in the NW part of the state. They are eerily strange looking to see them in mass numbers. Large, moving, super structures, modern. sleek looking machines all in a setting of rolling hills of corn. Pretty cool look.

They are thick on Hwy 63 all the way from about 30 miles north of us to almost Rochester, MN. Also plenty down 35 north and south of DesMoines. Lots of creases in the rolling plains between the rows of corn

The technology is amazing. Thank goodness for the internets.

I checked the web and it looks like they are manufactured worldwide in several configurations. As of now it appears the 'turbines' are prolific in a lot of states from texsa to the Dakotas and beyond

we have thousands of them in Palm Springs and in Mohave.

I believe if you look closely at that video, you can see SoonerDave tilting at them.
