You can't miss the WindShare turbine, whenever you are in or around Exhibition Place. It is always looming overhead. This 299-foot colossal, installed in 2002, is the Noth America's first urban wind turbine. Being of an older design, its generation capacity is under one MW.
On this rather windy day, it was rather disappointing to see it standing still. It seems like a silent observer, just examining everything around. The turbine was out of service for two years due to repairs and it was brought online just a few months ago. Perhaps it is undergoing some maintenance again.
