As the wind whipped off the East River Wednesday morning, Sims Municipal Recycling officially launched the citys tallest and only commercial-scale wind turbine, at its recycling center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The 160-foot-tall turbine has the capacity to produce 100 kilowatts, or 4 percent of Sims power needs. On a practical level, its offsetting our electricity costs, Tom Outerbridge, Sims general manager for recycling said during an event to christen the turbine. For the city, I like to think its important that its trying to break new ground and start to carve a path for wind projects to take off.
