A matter of scale

Over at the Vermont Tiger there’s a bit of discussion ongoing about wind turbines, measurements and such with the usual words tossed around without meaning. Perhaps this posting will knot some knickers, one can only hope.
One individual, self titled “The Gooch” who has a more than passing grasp of he terminology; he used the slip [...]
