Windpower!

Sustainable energy is the way forward, and the Netherlands is a step ahead of other countries. The government actively subsidises industries to make use of renewable energy like wind and solar power, and this is clearly visible in the north of the country.

Vast stretches of land are adorned with towering turbines. From a distance, quite a sight!
A little surreal in the natural landscape, like giant machines from space.

Tulipower is a big manaufacturer of these turbines. Each can generate up to 8000kwh of energy per year.
