The world’s first floating wind turbine has been towed to sea in a pilot project aimed at creating future wind farms miles off shore where the wind can be very strong. Stuart mcdill reports.
This video filmed by Larry Wunsch of Brownsville, Wisconsin who lives inside of Forward Energy wind farm there. He was out plowing his driveway when he saw a piece of ice the size of a bedsheet come from the turbine. He got his video camera and filmed the turbine. Theres no flying ice in this video, but the turbine blades clearly have ice and snow on the blades- except for the one where the big chunk fell off. Residents inside this industrial wind farm in Fond du Lac County were told ice throw from turbine blades isn’t a problem. They were told if ice forms on the blades, the turbine automatically shuts down. People who are spending their first winter in the wind farm tell another story.

It's an unusual gift, but definitly a gift of the future. A wind turbine will be installed to help the Huron City School district cut their energy bill in half. It will not only save the Sandusky-area school district money, but it will help students learn. "We have an opportunity for our students to be hands on with alternative energy which is one thing we're pushing in schools," said Superintendent Fred Fox. surenergy out of Sandusky actually donated the wind turbine to the district. They made the donation in memory of a family member who passed away. It is a generous donation that in turn produces hands-on learning. "To have an actual turbine being erected right now and turning, they'll be able to get in the classroom and see how many kilowatts it produces each day and keep track," Fox said. "The technology is tremendous." surenergy, which is selling personal wind turbines for home owners in greater Toledo,
