Power

Here’s a shot of some wind power generators along I-84 in eastern Oregon. I’ve been traveling out there on and off for a few years doing science in rural elementary schools. Every time a make the drive there are more and more turbines. They seem to be gaining popularity on the Oregon side (the Washington side has had them for some time). I hear they are good cash for the farmers who provide land and all the way down here in Eugene we run on 100% wind power so maybe this is a long term setup (I hope).
