Delaware Mountain Wind Turbines

The Delaware Mountains are due south of of the Guadalupes. They drop off steeply to the west and are very windy.

That wind has drawn the interest of alternative energy and the summits are now lined with wind turbines.

Flying home from El Paso late in the day, I saw the turbines as little white sticks as we fly over the Delawares. The turbines are huge in reality but so small out the window so we must already be up over 25,000'.

Dozens of turbines spinning and generating clean quiet power.
