New Exhibit?

Does that mean our admission to MOS would include going up on the roof to look at them close up? That would be cool.

Are they going to be the tall windmill-type or something else?

Cool!

The linked notice says there the museum wants three different kinds of turbines. Interesting.

I wish one would go up at Danehy Park in Cambridge. It's ALWAYS windy there. But I'm sure the neighbors would hate it.

Great Idea! A nice tall wind turbine could only add to the Tellytubbyland ambience with the grasslands, rolling hill, rabbits in the fens, and all ...

I wonder how tall they will

I wonder how tall they will be.

We have three to compare it too in town already

Small: The Fake one on the expressway southbound at the IBEW building

Medium: The new one in Chelsea on the Mill Creek at the FOrbes Lofts complex

Large: Hull in the Harbor

Fake wind turbine?

Are you saying that the IBEW windmill doesn't do anything?

Hull now has two wind turbines, one at the water end of the peninsula and the other at the Hingham end.

Oops , The IBEW turbine is

Oops , The IBEW turbine is 100KW, I guess its enough to run their own building. Next time I will google fact check ahead of time.

As a comparison the Chelsea one runs over 600KW, Hull has a 600plus and a 1MW plus unit.
