I didn't know any of the 3MW class turbines were on line yet. Great news.

21 turbines to produce 63MW. That's quite an economical improvement, conisdering 5-10 years ago it would have taken at least 70 turbines to get the same power output.
Hopefully 3MW machines become the standard, and we can tripple the output of installations planned around the 1MW class.

And some people say wind turbines are ugly, but I've stood directly underneath a 1MW turbine in Illinois, and it was incredibly beautiful and serene, and just a bit sureal.
