OP here.
All of the pictures here (except the last two), were taken at White Creek Wind Farm:

>>315328 These are 2.3 Megawatt machines. The blades pitch so that they turn at a constant speed anywhere between 5-40mph. I forget the price per turbine; I think it's somewhere around 1.5mil USD. They pay for themselves in approx. 5 years of power generation. They have a 20 year warranty(average lifespan), and will go for longer depending on how they've weathered the years, and if some components need replacing.
>>315410 I did quite a few things, including site logistics, concrete placement, ironworker, bolt placement, record keeping, heavy equipment operator, company geek, etc. Pretty much everything below ground, and I've been around a lot of the other aspects a bit too.
>>315431 Heh. A bit of that too, in small amounts.
And lastly, Meet Cleetus. He was a guy that we hired in Missouri. Seriously, his name is Clint, but he introduced himself to me as Cleetus, so there ya go. Nice Guy.
