The Windy City Has Nothing On Indiana!
ByChicago may be the Windy City, but Indiana has something the big city doesn’t have! We have “Wind Farms”! And North Central Indiana is home to the first wind farm in Indiana. In fact, Benton County boasts not one, but two wind farms.
You may have seen the windmills along US 31 south of Kokomo, but you haven’t seen anything until you see a “real” wind farm. Take a look…
Awesome!
I will never forget the first time I saw a wind farm… We had just moved to San Diego and were headed north on I-15. All of a sudden we saw these “things” that seemed to be sprouting out of the rolling hills. We had no idea they were, but the beauty and the serenity of miles and miles of these giant “things” stick out of the ground, out in the middle of nowhere was awe-inspiring. Of course, we soon found out they were wind turbines – modern versions of the old-fashioned windmills we had seen as children.
Check out this short video with a close up of a wind turbine in Benton County at Fowler Ridge.
In the not too distant future, I am sure we will have a wind farm in eastern Howard County. There are also plans in the works for a wind farm near the Tipton-Clinton County line. Keep your eyes open for these magnificent windmills!
