| The scene at the Port of Anchorage last weekend. |
Several pieces of wind turbines arrived at the Port of Anchorage last weekend from Tianchang, China, and are being staged nearby until later in the year when they will be sent to Fire Island for the new wind farm being constructed by the CIRI native corporation. Construction should begin this summer and will be partly up and running by the end of the year. The wind farm will eventually be made up of 33 wind turbines and will provide 144,000 megawatts of juice each year for up to 17,000 households. Since CIRI isn't in the business of public utility, Chugach Electric will buy the power from them in order to provide it to the mainland via its underwater transmission lines.
