Location map
Due to clustering of wind farms in particular windy areas of Pennsylvania, as more wind farms go online it may be difficult to show them on one map for the whole state. In that case it is possible to make new location map templates for sub-regions of Pennsylvania. The only (somewhat) difficult part is to create a new map in a GIS program such as Quantum GIS in the proper equirectangular projection with a known minimum bounding rectangle (i.e. map extents, the coordinates of the map corners). See Template:Location map. It might also be interesting to use a wind resource map as the base map for the location map(s). Unfortunately, the wind resource maps from NREL/DOE/Wind Powering America are only available as JPG or PDF files, not as shapefiles or another form suitable for GIS. Thus it would be difficult to reproject the wind resource maps to work as location maps on Wikipedia. --Teratornis (talk) 20:30, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
