An article by John Funk in The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio, April 26, 2011;

“Lincoln Electric plans to erect one of the largest wind turbines in North Americal next month”

“The largest wind turbine in Ohio and one of the largest in North America will soon spin high above Lincoln Electric's headquarters in Euclid.”

“Made in Germany by turbine maker Kenersys Europe GmbH, the nearly 200,000-pound generator -- the equivalent of about 36 Cadillac Escalade SUVs -- will sit on top of a tower about one football field high.”

“Each of the turbine's three 159-foot-long sculptured blades weighs more than 24,000 pounds.”
