    I just completed my part in a two month long ordeal transporting 136 1.3
    megawatt wind turbines to the New Mexico Wind Energy Center. .....near House New
    Mexico (vaugely halfway between Clovis and Tucumcari)

    Next week we start on a hundred or so unit wind turbine project going to
    Woodward Oklahoma....there are also new projects in the offing in Pennsylvania,
    New York, Wyoming, Colorado, North and South Dakota and others I'm not
    personally familiar with.

    All are at least a megawatt each and getting bigger it seems ( 200 ft plus
    tower...quarter of a million pounds of metal)...about a million bux each
    ....installed.
