The Mod-5B, awarded to Boeing in 1983, is to be installed on the island of Oahu in 1986. The 3.2 MW Mod-5B design has benefitted from the Mod-2 operational and test experience. In addition, major performance improvements have been incorporated in the design. The Mod-5B is designed to produce 43 percent more energy than the Mod-2 as originally delivered.
The Energy Department has also financed such overpriced, unrealistic projects as the MOD-5B, a wind turbine that weighed 470 tons and stood 20 stories tall: it looked like a gigantic propeller intended to push the earth to a new star system. It ended up being sold for scrap.
