Wind Turbines of Fenner
by Susanne Farrington
Driving in open countryside Where weeds reclaim the farms, I encounter sway-backed barns, Broken-down machinery, And blue roof-tarps.
Suddenly in view appear The stately wind turbines of Fenner. They stand so tall and elegant, Well-spaced on elevated land. Distant ones touch the wooded horizon, Slowly paddling trees with three white blades.
Up close, I can hear their breathy sound As each blade passes their monumental base. Now so relevant to rescue us From civilization’s excess.

Take a look and see the benefits of clean, renewable wind energy! Also includes a peak inside a turbine and amazing view from the top of the turbine!

"GMA" takes a deeper look into what wind turbines could mean for the U.S. economy.
