Just to be clear ... the turbines would be 400 feet above water surface. andy

Been following this thread and am not sure what the person is asking. The simple formula for the distance to the horizon is: Take the Square Root of your height in feet and multiply that by 1.23 and that is the number of miles to the horizon. Square Root of 400 feet is 20, times 1.23 = 24.6 miles. If the turbines are "in" the lakes, how much is submerged? What is the size (diameter) of the turbine blades? I'm confused. :-)
