By now you've all likely seen a windfarm in person.  And if you're lucky enough, you've been close enough to really take it all in - the slow, constant hum of the spinning blades, the way they stand out on top of hillsides looking so alone - yet working in unison, and their mysterious, somewhat romantic disposition.  So maybe you're not like us and don't harbor an obsession over wind turbines, but no matter if you're a greenie, a techie, or neither - it's hard to deny the awesomeness of their presence.

That's why we were pleased to come across some photos from a recent wind turbine project in Kodiak, Alaska, a place very close to DTE.  The below picture, found on the Kodiak Konfidential blog, shows the finished project.  But the amazement comes from following the story portrayed by the photos posted online by the Kodiak Electric Association.  It's an interesting look at what really goes in to erecting a wind turbine, kind of makes you take for granted the finished product.  We hope you enjoy the photos, and that you'll enjoy more the next time you drive by some wind turbines in your area
