We thought they would never ever end. There were so many of them
and they kept going and going and going for miles. The wind was blowing so they
were turning. From the motorcycle, they all looked white against the rich blue sky that was painted with a few cotton
ball white clouds. They stood proud and tall.
The Roscoe Wind Farm is one of the largest in the world. It
is located in Roscoe, Texas and became officially up and running in October
2009. There are about 634 wind turbines standing 350 feet to 415 feet tall and
spaced about 900 feet apart. This wind farm covers almost 100,000 acres of
land.
The wind farms use wind turbines. While riding, I thought
they were windmills. Once I google the different between the two, I learned
that windmills help to pump water and grind grain. The wind turbines were made
to produce energy. Interesting?
