Puget Sound Energy’s Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility features 149 wind turbines. This video tour takes you inside the 351-foot-tall wind turbines, giving a first hand look at how renewable energy works. Directions to the Wild Horse visitors’ center can be found at PSE.com.
Thanks for the video, guys. As a green power program customer, it’s good to know my dollars are going to renewable sources.

I have been up close to many of the turbines in TugHill NY while snowmobiling and always wondered what they were like inside. Thanks so much for filming this. I really enjoyed it. Unless you are up against one of these, it’s hard to imagine their size.

One of my Nephews works on a crew that builds these beasts across the US! It’s hard to believe because he was always afraid of heigths! I can’t wait to see him again so I can give him a good Razzing about that! I realy do give him alot of credit & respect for what he now does!

Well it depends on your roll what company you work for. You dont need to have wind training or college. Most colleges dont even have courses for this. We do have one at our college here. Start from 35,000 year to 200,000 year depends on experince roll in wind business. Traveling tech or what ever. Most compaines look for electrical back ground. Thats all you really need to get your foot in the door .

@ChorniyKot turbans are things that people of certain cultures wear on their heads. Turbines are these things.

These things area blight.
The economics of running them are only viable when subsidized by tax dollars. They don’t generate when power is most needed.
Altogether, not a real solution to the power problem – just a way for power companies to meet their politicized license requirements.
