(Abilene, TX) — The wind turbine blades are spinning at Amazon’s new west Texas wind farm. Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos christened the Amazon Wind Farm Texas by breaking a bottle of sparkling wine over one of the turbines. The 253-megawatt project located west of Abilene is Amazon’s largest renewable energy project to date. The wind farm includes more than 100 wind turbines. Texas leads the nation in wind power, with more than 15 percent of the state’s energy provided by wind.
