Winds of Energy
Two of the three wind turbines at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming faces the wind coming across the high plains and push against the clouds that later dropped a few inches of snow on the base and surrounding city of Cheyenne on April 6, 2010. The larger wind turbine (right) was completed and online early in 2009 and is rated at 2 mega watts of electrical energy that goes directly into the base power grid. The other two produces a combined output of 1.3MW. From most points on the base the wind turbines can be seen. At its base the blades make a low whoosh sound. (U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung)

Winds of Energy
One of three wind turbines at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming. This is one of the original, smaller wind turbines. They face the wind coming across the high plains and push against the clouds, in the distance, that later dropped a few inches of snow on the base and surrounding city of Cheyenne on April 6, 2010. A larger wind turbine was completed and online early in 2009 and is rated at 2 mega watts of electrical energy that goes directly into the base power grid. This and another two produces a combined output of 1.3MW. From most points on the base the wind turbines can be seen. (U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung)

Sergeant Davidson is part of an Air Force Petroleum Agency team that will conduct tests on the base's Type 3 hydrant system as part of the service's synthetic fuel certification process. The tests should be completed in late October or early November. (U.S. Air Force photo/John Ingle)
