Could a superman leap this wind turbine?
The tallest U.S. wind tower is under construction in Iowa. At 377 feet from ground to hub, the wind tower is as high as a 40 story building. The tower is attempting to show that concrete can be used as the tower base for wind turbines. Typically, steel is used in tower construction.
MidAmerican Energy will own and operate this tower as part of a 154 megawatt wind farm. Each 1 megawatt can supply about 800 homes.
