T.Boone Orders 667 Turbines For Texas Panhandle
In Wind Power 
This is amazing. A wind farm by T. Boone Pickens at a scale that dwarfs all others. We have to wonder: which has more "green jobs" impact, GE selling its appliance division or fulfilling an order for the world's largest wind farm? Mesa Power LLP, a company created by legendary energy executive T. Boone Pickens, has placed an order with General Electric to purchase 667 wind turbines capable of generating 1,000 megawatts of electricity, enough to power more than 300,000 average U.S. homes. The agreement represents the first phase of the four-phase Pampa Wind Project that will become the world's largest wind energy project, with more than 4,000 megawatts of electricity, enough for 1.3 million homes. When all phases of the project are completed as projected in 2014, the wind farm will be five times as big as the nation's current largest wind power project, now producing 736 megawatts. (more)
