Nobody knows for sure how many wind turbines are presently operating in the world. At the beginning of last year, there were estimates that the number would be around 400,000, which would generate a combined 840 GW of power.
These things are so gargantuan in size that their simple installation is a feat of incredible engineering. And so is the transport of a turbine's components to where they're meant to be.
A wind turbine generally comprises a tower and a nacelle to hold the rotor, hub, drive train, and generator. All of these would be useless if it weren't for the blades which spin under the power of the wind. And it is these blades, or more precisely their transportation to wind farms, that has a group of people believing there will be a need for a specialized means of transport in the not-so-distant future.
Lets build a plane that will produce copious amounts of C02 to move wind turbine blades around the world..
