Good news for clean energy in the region. 4 More wind turbines are up in the Hamburg/Lackawana area, bringing the total to 14 power generating wind turbines. The new ones are 410 feet tall, more than twice the size of Niagara Falls, and trail on the HSBC buidling in terms of hieght in the area.
With the 14 turbines, about 10,000 WNY homes can be powered by wind.
These have also been placed on brownsfield sites, which are unusable by most standards for any other sort of use because of toxicity in the soil, so we're creating energy from area's that were ruined, partially by old forms of energy, if thats not a success story, i don't know what is.
And lastly, i know this isn't the most well agreed with statement, but i think theyre beautiful to look at. Im not sure what it is about them, but theyre like Steel flowers blowing in the wind (i know how cheesey that sounds), and i love to stare at them as much as possible.
