We found out . We are actually touring one of the original wind farms in the Palm Springs area . Well , in the United States , ground zero really for wind energy was California , which set up an incentive program in the 19 eighties .
So now you're officially in the know about this place , but we're not done . So , you know , when you're driving to Palm Springs and you see hundreds of white windmills . Well , I've always wondered what those were .
This is the graveyard . Hi , I'm Tom , director of education at Palm Springs windmill tours . So there are three places in California that had a tremendous amount of wind that were all developed for wind farms in the 19 eighties .
So I wanted to elevate a cocktail program . There's a lot of spots in Palm Springs . They're forcing people to step up their game with cocktails .
That's 10 times the size of Palm Springs . So the energy coming here does go to Palm Springs , but it also goes to Los Angeles and just goes onto the grid . There is so much of it , that big green disc in the middle and the big gray disc on the left side are both massive brakes .
