Wind farm

An anon editor changed Wind power in Maine:

"The towers, ... are 389 ft (120 m) tall. The blades attached to the hub of the turbine are about 115 ft (35 m) long ..."

to

"The towers, ... are 262 ft (80 m) tall. ..."

The website http://www.mainewind.org/ says

"Each wind mill is 389 feet tall ..."

But maybe that's the maximum height of a blade tip, rather than the tower? That webpage doesn't have the length of the blades, but the numbers work out well enough: 262 + 115 = 377.

Bicentennial sunrise telecast - not.

According to TV Guide listings for programs scheduled to air on July 4, 1976, one or more of the networks was going to carry a live shot of the sunrise at Mars Hill, and though I flipped the dial, I never came across any such telecast among the bicentennial programming being aired that morning.

I wonder if the weather was foul that morning? GBC ( talk) 00:52, 13 May 2018 (UTC) reply
