Hardin County's giants

30 turbine wind farm catching the breeze north of Dola and Dunkirk
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, October 16, 2017

Kevin Mierzejewski, flying in a light sport aircraft, captured photos of some of the giant wind turbines now being placed just east of Ada.

• The turbines are gigantic compared to the three at ONU and the one at Ada Schools. The tower of these is 300 feet high, the blade is 150 feet long, thus when a blade is pointing up, the turbine reaches 450 feet from the ground.

• The placement has been described as north of Dola and Dunkirk, but in reality the "turbine farm" begins just three miles west of town near SR81 and CR 75 (near Sugar Grove UM Church). They are visible from Ada, if trees do not obstruct one's view.
