There is a new article for the 11 Code on Wind Turbines, you can download the material at the NFPA website. There were two proposals (mine was one) and a lot of comments.

All I can say is WOW!!

That is great info as talks are now in process to build a 125 MW test facility about three miles from my house. That location will be used to manufacture and test turbines to be used in Lake Michigan to generate 1,000 MW of power.

Used to vacation there when I lived in MI. The off shore ones should not be much of a hazard to anyone besides the gulls, but the "test turbine" sounds scary. If I lived there I would fight against it.
