These are Vestas V90 - 3MW.
More turbines of that size should be coming soon to other Caribean islands (can't say more now).

Was my guess, from the thin rotor blade chord because that turbine is one of the few which uses carbon fibre in the load carrying spar.  But there's nothing for perspective in the photos, so i wasn't sure.

Some of the most evolved turbines in the world.  cool, J.

effing AMAZING!

that pic of you up there is epic, saved to drive.

the only place i ever saw trees bent over that much was south point of the big island of hawaii, another place where windpower is begging to be installed.

so proud of what you're doing, J, to further planetary sanity.

when i think of how much oil hawaii imports it makes me want to weep...
