Fun day christening Amazon’s latest wind farm. #RenewableEnergy pic.twitter.com/cTxeXdsFop

According to Amazon, the newly christened wind farm is the company's 18th solar and wind farm in the U.S., with another 35 to come.
This latest wind farm includes 100 wind turbines, each of which is over 300 feet tall with wingspans longer than a 747 commercial airliner.
When the energy production from Amazon's over 50 renewable wind and solar projects are combined— such as from its wind farms in Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia — the company says that it will eventually produce enough clean energy to power 330,000 homes for a year.
Amazon's massive turbines join thousands more in Texas. In fact, windswept Texas produces more wind energy than any other state.
Bezos is a fan of doing big things in Texas. In a similar grandiose video posted on Instagram in May, Bezos announced the progress being made on his new Blue Origin rocket factory. In the video, Bezos doesn't stand precariously upon a towering wind turbine, but instead sits in chair while reclining on the factory's roof, donning cool shades and holding a sign, "ROCKET FACTORY COMING SOON."
In that particular video, Bezos did not smash any champagne bottles.
