[[man speaking on walkie-talkie] Okay. Get me straightened up into the lane]

[that I'm coming into right now and then let's run back straight forward.]

[You've got plenty of room. Keep going. [man on walkie-talkie] Okay.]

[[truck rumbling]]

[It's day 19 of our road trip. [Vivek Kemp - GE Reporter at Large/Multimedia Producer]]

[As you can tell, it's a little windy.]

[In fact, every single place we've gone to it's been a little bit windy.]

[But that's a good thing.]

[We're in Louisville, Kentucky.]

[We've learned along the way that's "Lou-ville," not "Louie-ville, "]

[not "Louis-ville," "Lou-ville."]

[We're at the GE Appliance Park here, which is one of the state's largest employers.]

[Come sign the blade. Come sign a wind blade. >>Thank you.]

[One of the interesting things about being at GE Appliance Park]

[is that many of the employees here have no ties to wind energy.]

[I didn't know they were this big, this large. [Servando Garcia - GE]]

[They're very big, right? 131 feet. You don't really realize until you stand right next to it.]

[[Garcia] Yeah. I think that it's great to know that our company]

[is taking advantage of such a great opportunity.]

[Come on and get your shirt. We've got larges and smalls.]

[[ambient crowd chatter]]

[[Patrick Galbreath - GE] It's nice to have a company that does so many broad]

[and different things.]

[It's kind of a neat thing to tell people I've been there, done that,]

[I have a part of that, I touched it.]

[It's pretty special.]

[[crowd chatter continues]]

[Do you call it "Louis-ville," "Louie-ville," or "Lou-ville?" ]

["Lou-ville" is the proper way I was told, so that's the way I call it.]

[[GE - imagination at work] >>[Kemp] Thanks for talking to me.]
