A local couple, after spotting it near the water’s edge, used their four-wheel-drive vehicle to pull the metal cylinder onto the shore

Soccer Moms throughout the United States are extremely excited!!

Yes, let’s all get Rorschach test-y with what we see in the paint....

Always reminded me of the Hitchcock profile.....

So that blade probably weighs about 12 tons. That’s a lot of weight, but spread across so much volume, it’s actually really light. For trucking it, that’s GREAT, because it means that big heavy trailer can hold it down. If a strong gust of wind whips up, there’s probably a hellish wobble, but the trailer isn’t going…

Based on the following links, the individual blades for moderately-sized turbines are within the weight limits of a Sikorsky/Ericson S-64 Skycrane, but I’d imagine that the sensitivity to winds would make it impractical. Also, it gets expensive given the number of flights a full wind farm would require.
