Updates are infrequent these days. It would be a shame if the lamest "green" blog on the tubes was to die. - Carl Sat, 13 Apr 2013 08:49:47 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/wind-power/3853-new-record-setting-wind-turbine#comment-48113 We needs thousands of these things for our electric needs - Bryan Bell Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:29:26 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/wind-power/3853-new-record-setting-wind-turbine#comment-48097 Natasha, how did they permit all those skyscrapers in cities? How about those electricity pylons?Aren´t they an equal danger? Seriously though, most aircraft are not permitted below 2000 feet above ground level except in airfield approaches anyway, and the turbines are not that tall (yet!) Any such hazard is reported on various navigational updates sent out to pilots, so there should not be a big problem. - Paul Turner Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:34:54 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/wind-power/3853-new-record-setting-wind-turbine#comment-48094 The picture shows just how dangerous these things will be to aircraft. Imagine the consequences of a jet airliner flying into one of these windmills. How can the regulatory authorities allow this kind of thing to be built, bearing in mind the clear danger presented by the picture. - Natasha Sun, 07 Apr 2013 02:43:38 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/wind-power/3853-new-record-setting-wind-turbine#comment-48074 I love how that mold looks like a bobsled track! I am impressed that they claim to get 65% more power than the previous version. Being single pieces, i imagine transporting is a little trickier haha. - Eco Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:05:29 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/wind-power/3853-new-record-setting-wind-turbine#comment-48073 It looks so giant and monstrous. Size of radius is equivalent to the size of an A-380 aircraft which in itself tells the story. Wish I could get to see it once in my life. - Rinkesh Mon, 01 Apr 2013 07:01:02 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/wind-power/3853-new-record-setting-wind-turbine#comment-48055 WOW look art the size of the mold into which the worker is laying fiberglass. I have always wondered how the molds were constructed. below floor makes a lot of sense, for stability, and everything on this scale. - Andrew Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:47:26 +0100
