The size of those things amazed me in that Pickens video! I had NO idea those turbines were SO HUGE...they dwarfed the men beside them. I wonder what the blades are made from...aluminum? titanium? fiberglass? Hard to imagine something so large being made from carbon fiber...maybe the same material as the hull of the new Boeing Dreamliner?
