World's Largest Wind Farm to be built in Texas


Pickens Wants to Build World's Largest Wind Farm

Betsy Blaney, Associated Press Writer, - Billionaire T. Boone Pickens is
planning to cash in on the wind energy boom by building the world's largest
wind farm in West Texas.

The oil tycoon wants to install large wind turbines in parts of four
Panhandle counties in a project that would produce up to 4,000 megawatts of
electricity, Pickens spokesman Mike Boswell said Wednesday. The farm would
have as many as 2,000 wind turbines, and some would be large enough to
generate 2.5 megawatts each. .
