While we were in Denmark last week this huge windmill was build en visible from our Garden. So we went out to take a look nearby. This windmill is 200m high and supposed to be the largest one in our country. Several of these will be build in the Eemshaven near my QTH. This one can make 4,5MW of energy and produce for 5000 households.
Imagine in the last century and even before the highest building in our province was the Martinitower in Groningen city. It is (only) 100m high. This windmill is twice the height of the tower.Look at the size of the large crane and truck at the feet of the mill. They look like tiny toys...
