General Electric is promoting wind energy with an interesting program entitled "Capture the Wind". The project started in Aberdeen, SD, with a dedication ceremony and a parade through town of a GE 40 meter blade, manufactured by MFG South Dakota. Both young and old citizens (and those in the middle) are asked to "sign" the blade indicating their support for renewable energy. The blade, transported on a huge trailer, and hauled by a beautiful Peterbilt tractor, wound its way through the midwest with stops at several cities. The blade eventually arrived in Dallas, TX, and was parked in front of the Dallas Convention Center, where inside the American Wind Energy Association was holding its annual convention. The photo on the left records my support and signing of the blade. Here's to renewable energy, made in America!
