"The structure can be built on-site in seven sections with a total of 28 modules...The turbine tower's walls are made with 144 layers of 3-millimeter-thick laminated veneer lumber...wood came from about 200 spruces, the same species used for Christmas trees, all of which were sustainably farmed...By 2027, the company wants to create 100 wooden towers each year, perhaps on a much larger scale than present."
