At the end of every week, the Energy.gov team likes to
highlight our favorite
energy-related photos. We call it our "Photo of the Week"
feature (take a look at past editions here).
Last Friday, we decided to try something different. On Energy Facebook, we
challenged you to think up creative, insightful, and funny captions to describe our Photo of Week post from July 20:
To give you some background, the photo above was taken at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) in majestic Colorado. It is one of four wind testing facilities funded by the Energy Department. These facilities serve as hubs for researchers to test and validate cutting edge wind technologies. The work helps reduce costs for wind manufacturers, speed deployment of wind projects, and promote the growth of U.S. companies.
So, now that you've got the story behind the photo. Let's get to some of our favorite captions.
Here's what we posted on Energy Facebook:
Caption This Photo. Tell us in the comments section and we'll highlight the best of the bunch next week.
Your responses did not disappoint. From movie references...
"Your mission, if you choose to accept it..."
to clever puns...
Love green energy, I'm a big fan!
we were impressed.
"When I said I wanted a room with a view, this wasn't exactly what I meant."
"I thought you brought the screwdriver."
All the creative responses inspired us so much, that we decided to join in on the fun. Here's a caption of our very own, funny, right?
Two dudes climb a 300 foot wind turbine. One turns to the other and says, "How's it hanging?"
