Wind Turbine Blades

[Nan]

For those who may have missed me talking about it in #kws, there is a new wind farm being constructed not far from where I live.  They have to erect something like 85 wind turbines, each one having 3 blades.   The first blade came up to our mountains yesterday and the link below is to a video that shows it turning off one main road onto another.  At this stage, it was up the mountain range road and heading to the final destination the other side of town.  Bear in mind the blade is 57m long (187 feet) and it weighs 16 tonnes (17.5 tons)

Awesome driving skills.

Yea, it sure is. I have seen huge blades travel by rail through Colorado, but nothing that long.
