Not buying. A 400 foot antenna is hard enough to build much less a windmill.

So what's your point? Because you find it difficult to build, it cannot be done?

I think he just meant that it sounded too fantastic to believe. When I saw a set of blades ready for transport I still did not believe that something like that could be built....but they sure are building them. They go up fast too!

We've got a 14-foot dia. 1940's Jacobs Wind Electric genny on an 80-foot tower in my wife's the front yard (it's a big yard), so I'm used to wind power, but the first time I saw one of these really big ones up close I was totally bowled over. They're so-o-o freakin' big...

So I excuse DB's disbelief.

No, I'm surprised it is economical. Lots of things can be done, but that doesn't mean they make sense to do.
