In a Winter 2004 newsletter, The Port of Longview, Washington had a related article (130 KB PDF excerpt) about transporting wind turbine components by ship and rail.

Quote of the moment
There is a drunkenness from the power that we give ourselves over things. This drunkenness leads us to stop controlling our appetites. We want more and still more. Instead of quelling the fire, we reignite it. Instead of seeking inner disarmament - the only kind that counts - we multiply our tools of conquest. And we even forget to check whether the fulfillment of our desire is really the one we had wished for.
~ The Path to Tranquility, May 15, 14th Dalai Lama ~
