I just saw a show on TV about the windmills in Texas, and they mentioned the blades are composite balsa/fiberglass.

     Nat seen some come though Indy a couple of years ago that was being trucked, 2 separate flat beds, the tail steerable like the old fire ladder trucks, one blade per, routing very important LOL, and yes I was guessing 100 ft. from what I have seen on TV is these things are getting bigger extensionally from the early models.

          I have never scene a modern wind turbine before, but today a train load came thru ( South Louisiana ) - blades, hubs, housings ?? The blades were singly loaded, LE down, and occupied approx 1 1/2 flatcars in length, 100ft ?
   
  They may be headed to the Gulf. Sure hope it doesen't hurt the price of oil, LOL.
