As far as wind turbines go these really suck. These wind turbines have to have a crane lift off the nacelle cover so they can be worked on, they leak oil constantly, these ancient Mitsubishi turbines are a pain to work on.
I have been to this wind farm. So much for rebuilding them.

This is one of the best wind location in the US. It's got the right combination of everything. Lots of wind, ease of access ( it's right off I-40), it has a transmission line right there and it's own substation for wind turbines. A new wind farm will be built there with less sucky enron wind turbines.
Rest in peices Aragonne Mesa Wind Farm.
