Just found this link/Video that will be of intest I think.

A commercial (sorry) 1.8MW turbine in Norfolk (U.K) with a unique observational tower right beneath the blades hub, (1 of only 3 in the world apparently).

The blades alone are 3 Tonnes each..

A small article and Youtube video here

I've got to go and witness that experience this summer.

Yep, that's my electricity provider, Ecotricity, and I'm hoping to meet their CEO in the next couple of weeks!

Thats a new way of selling wind power. If you dont like the view from the ground, you may like the view from the tower.
