Turbines taken down temporarily at Perkins High School
The three wind turbines at Perkins High School, which have been deactivated ever since high winds caused one to shed its blades in February, have been dismantled. School officials say it’s temporary, and the turbines will be put back up after brakes are installed to prevent the turbines from turning too fast in high winds. The turbines will also receive smaller blades.
