Seeing the blades on the interstate is pretty cool, except for when a truck carrying one jack knifed in an exit that we needed to take and we had to go an extra 15 miles to the next exit.

That is a lot better than "big-arse lowboy" for sure.

I work for ge as well and just got back from Korea today where I toured the steel factories that build the structures for these. Pretty crazy to see how large it is

I don't know, but it's financed by the taxpayers.

but if even one person finds out because of this, then it was worth it.
I knew they had something to do with wind turbines but I had no idea/ never heard of this word nacelles
So well done, learned something new today

Only definition I can find for "snovels" is from urban dictionary... something about a not laugh.
Clarification?

Just passed this bad boy on 190 as it was about to get on I-12 West.

Thanks for posting. I've always wondered what those were.

We have miles of wind farms out here in West Texas. What is impressive is to be out next to them, realize the size and hear the sound they make. They also have crews with special personnel lifting equipment to wash them down. I wouldn't do that job.
