[[Vivek Kemp-GE Reporter at Large/Multimedia Producer]]
[We've officially made it. It's Day 30 of our road trip. ]
[We're at AWEA, the world's largest wind energy conference in Dallas, Texas.]
[We're standing outside the GE booth here at AWEA.]
[Behind me, you can get a good idea of what]
[a wind turbine is actually made of. ]
[There's a hub, that's directly behind me over here to my left, ]
[and also, throughout the booth, ]
[there's information on how wind energy works,]
[how it affects the power grid, ]
[and how it will be a part of America's energy future. ]
[Along the way, we've had the opportunity]
[to meet the people who are directly impacted by wind technology. ]
[We've talked to policy makers, workers who actually build turbines-- ]
[including the blade we've trucked through this country.]
[talked to the technicians that keep those turbines running, ]
[We've visited the world's largest wind farm. ]
[We've ridden in a helicopter. ]
[We've even stuck our camera outside a high-speed vehicle ]
[to capture the blade moving on the highway.]
[We've been a little too close to a train.]
[We've had terrible--but obvious-- weather reports.]
["Larry, how would you describe today's weather?"]
[And we've even met the next generation.]
[The people--the kids--who will likely benefit the most]
[from this-- wind technology. ]
[And I can honestly say, at the end of this trip, ]
[we've seen the full power of the wind.]
[It's a power which comes as much from Mother Nature]
[as it does from the people who work everyday]
[to bring this technology into our lives.]
