BRIDGEWATER – The town will soon host a structure the height of a 20-story building.
The MBTA has chosen the town as the site for a 213-foot-high wind turbine to be erected this fall, MBTA Manager of Energy Efficiency Michael Donaghy told the Town Council.
“This is an optimal location because of the minimal impact on abutters,” Donaghy said.
He said the turbine will be constructed on MBTA land near the Middleboro/Lakeville line east of the Department of Correction complex along an abandoned rail line that used to deliver coal to the prison.
The surrounding area is mainly farmland without a house for a radius of several miles, he estimated.
Donaghy said the turbine will have an estimated annual production of 1.6 million kWh, will weigh 81,200 pounds and will reach a height of 302 feet with one of the blades extended straight up.
He said the turbine will save the MBTA an estimated $195,000 annually on its electricity bill and will pay for itself in an estimated 18.6 years.
“We hope this proves the business case for renewables,” Donaghy said.
The turbine will cost several million dollars to construct, said Donaghy, without providing a precise figure. But based on the project payback estimate, the cost would be approximately $3.6 million.
I always think that older models of anything are far better, and yeah cheper too ... I had an android phone, it took one and a half minuites to actually fully come on, from the moment you switched it on, whereas the older mobile phones take about thirty seconds, you would think with the advance in technology, they would actually be faster .. but nooo ... its all those apps taking up the energy maybe ...
Love the windmill pics, they still exist today, can be found worldwide and still functioning probibly .. Im suddenly reminded of Windy Miller, an old childrens TV program from the 70s ... so, without further ado, I present to you .. Windy Miiller .. allow the inner child in you all to come out to play .. ;-)

In the 70s, TV programs like that were popular for kids, but they had a very creepy, odd vibe about them .. really strange storylines some of the time .. the first video is innocent and tells the story of Windy Miller, the second video takes it to another level, kind of Satanic undertones, it was banned on television.
Here is a daytime TV show for kids called "Rainbow" .... watched by millions of five year olds ..

"Speaking of ancient times do you have any info on Hybornea Drekx which as you know was an area settled before colonists settled in Lemuria? We hear about Lemuria and Atlantis all the time, but we have not talked much about Hybornea. I know it lasted…"
