According to Amazon, the newly christened wind farm is the company's 18th solar and wind farm in the U.S., with another 35 to come. 。
This latest wind farm includes 100 wind turbines, each of which is over 300 feet tall with wingspans longer than a 747 commercial airliner. 。
When the energy production from Amazon's over 50 renewable wind and solar projects are combined— such as from its wind farms in Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia — the company says that it will eventually produce enough clean energy to power 330,000 homes for a year. 。
Amazon's massive turbines join thousands more in Texas. In fact, windswept Texas produces more wind energy than any other state. 。
Bezos is a fan of doing big things in Texas. In a similar grandiose video posted on Instagram in May, Bezos announced the progress being made on his new Blue Origin rocket factory. In the video, Bezos doesn't stand precariously upon a towering wind turbine, but instead sits in chair while reclining on the factory's roof, donning cool shades and holding a sign, "ROCKET FACTORY COMING SOON." 。
In that particular video, Bezos did not smash any champagne bottles. 。
