The Navajo nation has partnered up with a Boston company to build one of the country’s largest wind farms. This will be built about 50 miles north of Flagstaff in the Gray Mountain area. When completed the farm should produce around 500 Megawatts which is enough to power 100,000 homes. To achieve this much power around 300 turbines will be installed.

Here’s short video of a wind turbine being erected. It’s in a totally different environment, but I’d think much of the construction is the same.

The Navajo Nation has been so plagued with the negative aspects of coal it is so refreshing to hear they will be able to be a generator of such clean energy. They certainly have the winds for it (depending on the area). Up in the Chuskas I know we practically blew off the mountain several times. :c)
