Former Cold-War Microwave Towers Reused for Possible Wind Turbine Sites
A wind farm firm has inked a deal to put test kit on nearly 1,200 radio towers to monitor the average wind speed and see if the area would be suitable for installing electricity wind turbines. The towers are owned by American Tower and were originally built by AT&T for cold-war defence purposes. All of the sites have permitted access roads and power links to the electrical distribution grid thus addressing a cost and permitting impediment to many wind power projects. more
