Mars Hill Wind Farm

I am not quite sure how bored you would need to get to want to log onto a website to watch 28 wind turbines do their thing, but its now possible to watch New England second largest wind farm live in action.

First Winds 85$ million wind farm project on top of Mars Hill Mountain in Maine has cameras pointed right at it. Each of the towers climb 389 feet towards the sky, and when operating at full capacity the turbines can generate approximately 42 megawatts of power.

This is enough power to run electricity to about 45,000 Maine homes. The Mars Hill Wind Farm helps offset approximately 65,000 tons of carbon dioxide, and over 350 tons of other damaging pollutants every year.

You can watch the turbines fly in the wind by visiting the Mars hill Wind Farm website. While you are there, you can even check out the latest snowmobile trail report, which probably isn’t all that good right now. What a strange, warm winter it has been in Maine.
