Sacramento public utility SMUD installs eight 3MW wind turbines

Each of the eight turbines are 100 feet taller than the statue of liberty. They went online June 1, 2006.

These new turbines increase SMUD's wind energy capability from 16 MW to 39 MW.

There are some really beautiful pictures here taken by some UC Davis students of the new turbines.

If you live in the SMUD service area you might like to join their green energy program. The service costs less than they charge to read your meter, and you can buy 100% renewable power much more cheaply than becoming 100% renewable by installing solar panels on your house.
