How exactly do you move wind turbine blades?

submitted by SFOGuy

If you're not building a wind turbine in the middle of a flat field next to a rail line, then how exactly do you move a gigantic wind turbine blade to the turbine mast?
Especially up winding, twisting alpine roads? with all the houses still in place?

Ingenious.

Ingenious. Now try doing it without using fossil fuels.

Wind. You use wind.

They could have used this in the '80s when the US deployed Pershing II missiles around small villages in Germany. I know of one case where they got stuck on a tight corner and couldn't move back or forward. After several days they had to pay a farmer so they could demolish and re-build a corner of his house to get the thing free.

I'm not sure if the nuclear warhead was installed the whole time.

Very cool. Too big I guess for a Sikorsky Sky Crane.
