Mexico Wind Farm to Provide Power for California Households

Gamesa Wind Turbines


The Cannon Power Group, a wind farm developer based in San Diego, has signed a 10-year exclusive contract with the Gamesa, a leading wind turbine manufacturer from Spain, to build and maintain utility scale wind farms. These wind farms will be located in Mexico's Baja region but provide power for California households. The site will cover 140 square miles of land that is 60 miles south of San Diego, chosen because the wind traditionally rises in the afternoon and early evening, just when peak electricity use goes up. The facility is expected to generate 500 megawatts by 2015, and should produce 1,000 megawatts of power when it reaches its full capacity.

The facility's ground breaking will be later this year and will take three to four years to build. Gamesa's turbines will be manufactured at their factories in Pennsylvania and will employ 1,000 US workers. The president and managing director for Cannon Power Group, Gary Hardke, commented that "this will be a win-win for Mexico and the United States. We envision this as a major cross-border project that can stimulate the region’s economy and provide enough clean energy for over 250,000 households.”

    Mar.16,2011Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ:The very srocue of life is Nature where human cravings depend on where potent water, quality food, oxygenated air, and clean green environment be preserved. Cut off one tree you lose one soul. It is an awe to loose one’s soul like that of JAPAN where tall buildings and structures rising just like they wish to top the world and other highly industrialized countries is doing to compete their GNP keep on stable. After all, in just one sight it lost in vain.Taking care of Nature is our sole concern before we felt how life is precious where our Savior JESUS CHRIST provide us during HIS creation.I you don’t WHO WILL BE THE REMAIN to watch this fallen earth down to its debris.Planting a mustard seed in your FAITH will be as a great aid to restore our earth back in shape not by our own intellect to tower other ideas in order to be known at your own interest in order to trample precious life that we keep how we could address to save our planet earth. Saving oone soul is saving one tree keep them grow, green and healthy in order to save energy instead to switch on your Aircondition that would add up your bill and the risk that you carry with an artificial refreshing only after all. Save our planet earth by taking care of a tree and avoid cutting off.Nature lover,Josephine
