Windfarm Tours provides California windmill guided tours through one of its wind energy facilities located in Palm Springs, CA, near the intersection of Interstate 10 and Indian Avenue.
Visitors tour the facility on electric powered vehicles recharged directly from the windmills.
Guests visit operating wind turbine generators ranging from first generation small machines to new 4th generation equipment standing nearly 20 stories high. This California wind farm tour does more than just disseminate information on the wind farms, our program teaches people how to make a difference. The tour is a short course in ecology awareness and environmentally friendly power. Our guests gain an understanding of the electric power distribution system in this county through the workings of this environmentally conscious power generating plant, on to an in depth discovery of what to anticipate from the deregulation of the electrical power distribution industry. Guests come to recognize local, national and global demands for increased power production and how to accommodate those new demands from environmentally friendly sources.
