Wind Energy

For almost two years now there is a company here who has been putting in a wind energy farm here in Santa Ana. Just in the last two or three months this town has gotten quite busy for such a small town. Lots of roads have been improved so big dump trucks can enter to haul dirt. Although on the other hand they have torn up quite a bit of the main roads by making pot holes. There is always lots of commotion here on the small road with all of the tractor trailers hauling in the new parts, the dump trucks hauling in and out dirt and people flagging the cars to slow down or stop. Lots and lots of people are with good jobs who were without jobs before. This company has provided jobs for many here in Santa Ana.
Just in the last week or so the windmills have started to go up. The kids are all in awe. As we drive down the road there are lots of ewhhhs, awhhs, and pointing. Near the kids school you can see quite a few of them. So this is a daily occurrence of them counting to see how many more are up.
This project is suppose to be done in December. So far there are three or four up near the kids school and several more you can see they are preparing to put up. So I am sure now til when they finish the kids will continue to be in awe everyday and keep track of how many more new ones are up each week.
The project I hope will benefit many here in Santa Ana. This is the largest wind energy farm in Central America.
