Tehachapi-Mojave Wind Resource Area has over 5,000 windmills stretched out on the mountain sides and tops to take advantage of the wind from the Mojave desert. The wind generates 1.5 billion kilowatts of electricity per year. The windmills were neat to see with their three white paddles slowly turning in the wind. They face different directions as the prevailing wind goes through the gap in the mountains. Some are operating all the time. As we drove through the area, we had climbed 3,800 feet in elevation.
