Description: As the world celebrates the 35th anniversary of Earth Day 2005, the Department of the Navy (DON) debuted its largest wind energy project to date--four 275-foot wind turbines with blades spanning 177 feet, making them visible throughout the base and surrounding areas of Cuba. Unveiled in a ribbon-cutting ceremony held here today, the wind energy project will save taxpayers $1.2 million in annual energy costs, and reduce the consumption of 650,000 gallons of diesel fuel, reduce air pollution annually by 26 tons of sulfur dioxide and 15 tons of nitrous oxide and greenhouse gas emissions by 13 million pounds per year.
