Simulation of Proposed Windplants Atop Backbone Mountain

This simulation shows four of the 57 proposed 430 foot turbines—stretching nearly twenty miles—atop Backbone Mountain, Maryland's highest ridge, with windplant noise recorded 2500 feet away from an existing plant in PA. This sound has not been amplified or altered in any way. The number of turbines has been scaled back from 92-1.5 MW machines to the current proposal of 57-2.5 MW generators.
