For people wondering how tall it is (because obviously towers don't have feet, dur) -- 300 meter HUB height, 365 meters to rotor tip.

1,200 feet to reach better wind. THIS is the bold engineering I keep talking about. Not another summit, not another 'we'll look into it.' An actual structure testing a real idea. 🌍
