This image records some of the first revolutions of a wind turbine which, along with a second currently (end May 06) being erected, will produce one third of the energy requirements of the Michelin factory in Dundee. At almost 400ft they will be some of the largest urban wind turbines in the world and save our atmosphere the addition of 7000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from power stations.
