The Silver Sage Wind Farm began operating in early October

Chicago: Suzlon Wind Energy Corp., the North American subsidiary of Suzlon Energy Limited (SEL), announced the early completion of the Silver Sage Windpower Project, a Duke Energy wind farm in Cheyenne, Wyoming, that is comprised of 20 Suzlon S88-2.1 megawatt wind turbines.

The Silver Sage Wind Farm began operating in early October. At full capacity, the 20 Suzlon wind turbines are capable of producing 42 MW of wind-generated electricity, which is enough energy to power nearly 20,000 average US homes.* Cheyenne Light Fuel & Power, a utility subsidiary of Black Hills Corp., and Colorado-based Platte River Power Authority are buying the renewable energy generated by Duke Energy at its Silver Sage Project.

In addition to supplying and building the turbines, Suzlon is providing operations and maintenance at Silver Sage through a five-year service agreement with Duke Energy. Suzlon also supplied the 14 S88 turbines in use at Duke Energy’s nearby Happy Jack Windpower Project, a 29-MW wind farm that entered commercial operation in September 2008.

Suzlon has more than 1,600 megawatts of wind turbine capacity installed in the U.S. and a total of 130 megawatts through three projects with Duke Energy.

the indus valley civilization the over view

This is arguably one of the oldest known civilization of the world. one being contemprary to the babylonean and ancient chinese.
but two things diferentiate this civilization fron the others-
1. the expand of this cilization
2. the technological advance of this civilization
 
as for the expance - well it was from iran to banks of ganga. also it had at least 3 major river sustems feeding it-
1.indus(sindhu)
2.sarawati
3.ganges(ganga)
 
of which sarwati was the source of greenry to the place what is pretty much thar desert today.
 
the best part is that people in this vast expance were all connected, had a civil life, new architecture ( of at least 2 story buildings) , had paved roads, a covered drainage system....
 
the time of this civilization is very much disputed.
we do know it ended by 1500 BC and lasted for more than a 1000 years. but when it cane to existance renmains disputed. with some claims as back as to 6000 BC ( mostly to about 3100BC) we dont know when these people started.

the discovery of india

Well it started in orkut,
during my conversations out there we realised that indian history lacks so much that we almost make it distorted by 'not-reporting'.
just to make my point i am talking about ahom kings of assam, the 'mir kasim' newly found hero og pakistan; the princely staes of raj that had more among themselves than the ppl hoisting union jack, and offcourse the untold history of glorious vijay nagar empire.

all these insidents/kingdoms/ppl lived were too distant in tiome and space except for one thing, they are too close when it comes to the justice that we don ( or rather dont do ) to them.

in this blog i'll try to retrace the indian history and plug in holes ,

althogh i am not imprisoned as the original writer of discovery of india hence dont have as much time but i'll try to goive my best shot in here.
