While travelling south to the southern US this fall, we kept passing huge tandem tractor trailers hauling huge long weird shaped things. I finally realized they were blades off of wind turbines. They are some large.
It is the first time in all my years that I have run across these being hauled and there were many trucks of them.
I googled and came up with this image of them loaded for transport although the ones in the image are on rail.
