Lost in space! - a photo on Flickriver

Lost in space!

            The number of wind and solar farms that we have seen in service or being built as we have driven round the states never seems to amaze. I read recently that a record was reached of more than half our (Australia's) electricity needs were met by non-coal generation sources. It seems to me that I see also a lot of private commerce and industry adopting various alternative means to produce their electricity needs. And of course, rooftop solar is going gang busters. About the only people who don't seem to be able to make a decision are those supposedly leading us and providing an example! It seems this monstrous turbine blade missed the right turn-off to the wind farm in the small country town of Bell, Queensland (not unlike us really) and ended up in the local park. An unusual display if I may say so. Now, to catch those down drafts!
