Matt Graham Photo Blog - Landscapes and other interesting shots from Alberta and Pennsylvania
Friday, August 6, 2010 at 6:00 AM Right along our wellsites, there is an extensive wind farm on top of Armenia Mountain in Northern Pennsylvania. I watched for hours during our frac jobs how these turbines seems to have a life of their own. If there was no wind in one direction, they would rotate towards the wind. Such majestic creations of engineering. Converted to B+W with Nik Silver Efex Pro.
Sunday, May 2, 2010 at 4:19 AM I drove along the backroads of Pennsylvania yesterday to see much more of the beauty here. I realize that the Marcellus shale gas play is a huge industry evolving here, but I was shocked to see so many windmills in the area. I am all for renewable energy, but a part of me cannot get over the amount of windmills to get the equivalent power of gas fired power plant. I hope I see more windmills popping up, but with the abundant supply of shale gas I wish to see some synergies in the future.
