Hey neat! My dad helps run another harsh-environment wind turbine company, Black Island Wind Turbines[1].
>Black Island, Antarctica. One of the harshest wind turbine installations in the world. Routine category 5 hurricane winds. Top speeds reaching almost 89 meters/sec (200 mph). Temperatures falling to minus 57 degrees Celcius (minus 70 degrees Farenheit). Marine environments. Super-critical loads. One wind turbine prevails--the HR3, a high-reliability 3 kW wind turbine that Black Island Wind Turbines will soon be offering for commercial sales to satisfy the most difficult site and customer demands around the world.

I went there to have a look, those are really special machines even though they look ordinary at first glance. http://www.gettyimages.nl/detail/foto/crowley-ridge-wind-power-alberta-canada-royalty-free-beeld/78480243/gallery http://www.gettyimages.nl/detail/foto/crowley-ridge-wind-pow...
