New Wind Turbine in Town

This thing is like the fish on Calle 13. An expensive and wasteful way to try to illustrate that Penasco looks like all is well.

Lovin it in RP!
The generator has a limiter on how fast the blades spin, if you get under it when it is spinning you understand all the gearing in that thing as you can hear it buzzing, it is working and making juice. If the wind blows really hard or from many different directions at a time the unit will shut down and quit spinning as a protection.

Indeed, good to know, because excess wind can be fatal, so to speak:oops:

It is a shame that it was allowed near the city. They tend to multiply and become visual pollution to the area. We have miles of them near me and they really junk up the landscape. Many also have sued over the health issues they cause.

Not all progress is good progress.
 
I thought it was an.. interesting place to put it. Right next to a gas station. But since the bay is spoken for where else can they put it and the many others that will be needed to really make a difference?

At least it will be a point of interest for the 8 hour lay overs for the tourists on the ships. And a nice distraction from the North East portion of PP, you know the vast expanse of burnt car grave yards, water reclamation ponds with green oxygen depleted floral bloomed waters and 1 room shacks held together with any flat piece of material blowing down the road that house 10 people.

It is an environmentally friendly option that will up heave the entire population right? Should lower utilities and reduce dependance on fossil fuels to right?

Re-bar and concrete issues with standing they should be very safe as well, as long as construction isn't handled by the lowest bidder.

They (there will have to be more than one) will look beautiful against the lush green hills with clouds slowly blowing through the area.

And since there are no migratory birds, cattle, sheep or horses to compete with then there will be no impact on the fauna.

There should be nothing to complain about, this will work out just fine. I can feel it en mis huesos.

Hehe, I hope it helps the people down there in the end. I really do. But it will make it look a whole lot different when there are 30+ of them, IMO... enjoy it now. To late to turn back now.

It's strange, isn't it. For a couple decades now certain insular levels of western society have been moaning and spouting venom about the use of fossil fuels to create electricity. Now that the technical people have developed a renewable source in the form of windmill power, it's bad news all over again. Has the Al Gore/Obama Society virus spread to Penasco and started to infect brains here?
 
What the hell do you know about infected brains? 2 decades ago you were a snot nose Freshman in a Colorado high school just spouting off what ever your parents spewed to you.

Do you know anything about the time period that you speak of? NAFTA (effective since 1994)ring a bell? Whether you think it worked out or not it helped set a lot of things in motion that probably helped put smart asses like you in the position to live down there.


"In 1990, Mexico approached the United States with the idea of forming a free trade agreement
(FTA). Mexico’s main motivation in pursuing an FTA with the United States was to stabilize the
Mexican economy and promote economic development by attracting foreign direct investment,
increasing exports, and creating jobs. The Mexican economy had experienced many difficulties
throughout most of the 1980s with a significant deepening of poverty. The expectation among
supporters at the time was that NAFTA would improve investor confidence in Mexico, increase
export diversification, create higher-skilled jobs, increase wage rates, and reduce poverty. It was
expected that, over time, NAFTA would narrow the income differentials between Mexico and the
United States and Canada."

You should just post your adds in the Real Estate section, at least your motives at this forum would be UN-questionable and I could at least respect that.
