Your Neighborhood 443 Ft. Turbine

The massive 443 ft. Lincoln Electric Turbine was built and erected in 2011. Since then I've had numerous friends, who seeing it from the freeway for the first time, kind of lose their shit over the sheer size.

It's enormous, and it signifies the future, which excites people, I think.

It generates 2.5 megawatts of electricity at 14 RPM... and it's quiet as a mouse. If you would like to know more, Lincoln Electric does a bang up job with stats and facts here.
