Yeah, I know it sounds like something out of a Tom Clancy novel, but this was one of my favorite photos from Xinjiang. I first saw the turbines on my way into Wulumqi, yet the air quality was so poor that I was only able to see a vague outline of those nearest to the rail line. I took this on the way back to Nanjing. I”m hoping that when they put more of these babies in, it will be clear all the time.

I believe the above is the Dabancheng windfarm , the largest in China (can any of my Chinese readers confirm this?). 111 turbines generating 57.7 MW of power. Additional units were going up as I sped by in the train.
