Yeah, and when you consider that all you have to do is recycle a bunch
of well casings like we've seen recently, you can get the cost of a
tower down even further.

Somebody said they'd seen a 300 footer built out of well casings.  Is
that the record?  In other words, is ten 30 ft. sections a hard limit?
