Blown away

Te Apiti -- facts and figures [from The Manawatu (New Zealand) Standard]:

• Each of Te Apiti's 55 turbine towers is 70m [230 ft] tall and the turbine blades are 35m [115 ft] long and weigh six tonnes [6.6 tons].
  
• 1 million cubic metres [1,307,190 cubic yards] of earth has been moved in the construction of Te Apiti.
  
• It took 80 truckloads of concrete -- 400 cubic metres [523 cubic yards, over 1000 tons] -- to fill each of the 55 foundations.
  
• A 400-tonne crane, the largest ever brought to New Zealand, was used to construct the towers.
  
• The turbines are connected by 48km [30 mi] of underground cables.
  
• The turbines are linked by 21km [13 mi] of roads.

Clearly what has been "blown away" here is a large part of New Zealand's natural beauty.
