Default Re: "The Thing"

Well more than likely, Wind turbines will be installed soon, its the perfect envirornment for them anyway!

It will cut back on the logistics of fuel oils and transport. Hence less waste materials that would have to be delt with!

Big job though..... Erecting a single turbine takes weeks and 100's of manpower, billable hours.

Nevertheless it is the wave of the future! GE™ is at the forfront when it comes to alternative energies.

Antarctica is the perfect place for a wind farm, But from what I understand, they are having some trouble adapting certain aspects of there model to the extreme cold! once they do... ...we will prolly see several wind farms down there!
