Ruth:

I don't remember seeing that installation on my fly-bys or driving in
the area (but it has been a while since I was up over that area).

At 200 miles it is about 30 to 50 miles closer to NYC than the ones in
Madison County (your mileage may vary, distance depends on where you go
and how you get there).

At 0.55 MW they are about 1/3 the power of the ones in Madison County
and further north.  Odd since the blades sweep the same area (nominally
130' diameter) and turn at the same speed (14 RPMs).

Here is a series of pictures showing the Maple Ridge windmill parts as
they arrived by boat in Oswego up on Lake Ontario.

We don't have "wind farms" and we're a long way from NYC but there is at
least one of these wind mills on Searsburg Mtn in southern VT.  Bruce,
have
you noticed it when flying over?  Ruth
