Traveling on US219 south and on the Benbush Road the view of the windmills has changed recently. A non-working and wounded turbine is quite visible against the skyline as a 114 foot long, 14 thousand pound, blade is bent at an awkward angle. Steve Stengel, spokesman for NextEra Energy Resources, said “During demolition work being conducted by a local mining company, a piece of debris struck and damaged a blade on one of our wind turbines. We are in the process of sourcing a new blade and will repair the damage as soon as possible. The remainder of the wind farm continues to operate normally.”
