Altamont Pass is host to over 6000 wind turbines of all shapes and sizes. Many of them were constructed under a Californian tax regime which made building them very worthwhile, though since those days, not all of the turbines are maintained in working order.
Even so, there are still many making a real contribution to California's energy needs, and even some replacement of old models with new, more efficient ones.
Given a good breeze, the sight of the hillside covered as far as the eye can see with twirling turbines makes a very impressive sight.
