A cow stands near the wind turbines operating on Capital Wind Farm in Bungendore, Australia, on Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2010. The wind farm comprises 67 2.1MW wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 140.7MW, which is equivalent to providing the energy needs of approximately 60,000 homes. The electricity generated at the Capital Wind Farm is fed directly into the TransGrid network via an onsite substation, with the majority of output going on to supply the Sydney Desalination Plant at Kurnell.
