The Maple Ridge Wind Farm outside of Lowville, New York is the largest wind farm in New York State. It is made up of 195 wind turbines and is located on the Tug Hill between 1600-1800 feet above sea level. The location takes advantage of the winds from Lake Ontario.
Maple Ridge accounts for three-quarters of all wind power generated in New York State.

Have you checked out Oregon’s/Washington’s? Wow…these things are popping up everywhere. Oregon is on target to become one of the world’s leading producers of wind energy. Very cool. And we watched an entire hour program on the construction of one of these GIANT devils. Amazing.
