Last year GE bought the company responsible for a brand-new way of building tall wind turbine towers.
Clever isn’ t it? Instead of a monster tower crane taller than the turbine, needing dozens of truckloads to transport on site, a smaller crane crawls up the tower as it’s being built! Patents no doubt pending.
This is how they built cathedrals in the Middle Ages:
Reconstruction of the temple of Jerusalem, France, XVc
A number of old churches in England still have cranes or bits of them stranded in the roof space, that weren’t worth bringing down.
