If you live in Utah County, I’m sure you’ve seen the new wind turbines near the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. What do you think about them? I was recently in Saratoga Springs (which I need to add to the categories before Saratogians get mad) and could point out the new “decorations” to my friends as a reference.

Questions:

  • When are they going to start cranking?
  • Who gets the power?
  • If it’s not Spanish Fork, why the HE%# not? :)
  • Who do I need to talk to in order to set up a tour?

What does the Utah County Reviews Community think?

    Hi,
    I don’t know any answers to your questions but I do have some info on the picture. It was taken by a radio control airplane from Plane Insane RC.com and you can see a couple more aerial pictures here http://www.planeinsanerc.com/PlaneInsane.php?PageID=69
    Let me know if you get any information about setting up a tour. I would love to take me kids to see these monsters up close.

    I just found this comment about the wind turbines - thanks for your feedback UtahBill:

    The latest and greatest wind farm is in Utah, and it is a ripoff. The citizens of Spanish Fork gave up substantial tax revenue for 10 years and the power goes to California……

    Not sure what I think of the whole thing, especially if it’s correct that the power goes to California. I’ve heard mixed reviews on this.

    I had the chance to go to the Spanish Fork Kite Flying Spectacular yesterday at the Spanish Fork Reservoir.

    I found out that yes, Spanish Fork does get some of the power behind the Spanish Fork wind turbines. Hurray! This was a relief from some of the rumors I’d heard.

    75% of Spanish Forks power can be covered by the wind turbines. I guess the question still remains: WILL our power be covered by those wind turbines or not? and WILL it help save us all money on power?

    Let me know what you all find out. Thanks!
