00:00This is the wind of change.
00:07It's a wind turbine tower made almost entirely out of wood.
00:12And it's also one of the tallest wooden structures in the world.
00:17People were telling me 105 meters.
00:19Is that right?
00:20Yeah, it's right.
00:21It's really, that's the hub height.
00:22The total height is 150 meters to the tip of the blades.
00:28You know, as I thought about it, I thought 105 meters, oh, that's tall, but still I can't
00:32get it into my head.
00:33No.
00:34Until you stand here.
00:35Yeah, it's quite thick.
00:36I've got one small problem.
00:37I'm terrified of heights.
00:38Oh, you have a challenge.
00:39I do have a challenge.
00:40No, no, no.
00:41We will keep you safe.
00:42Yeah?
00:43Yeah.
00:44Maybe not okay, but safe, but maybe not totally okay.
00:45Definitely not okay.
00:46Using wood makes it easier to build towers that are even taller, and harness the power
00:57of more wind that's higher up.
01:00Welcome.
01:01Thank you very much.
01:02Why do I need that?
01:03Why do I need this harness?
01:04Because if we need to evacuate, for example, or if we need to take you down because you
01:10had a panic attack or something, we need something to carry on.
01:16If anything happens, we will save you.
01:19I have your promise.
01:20It's on camera you saying that.
01:21Yeah, yeah.
01:22You know, so, you know, I've got a record of that.
01:23My wife will hold you to that.
01:26She can.
01:30David and I might have to get married after this.
01:32You ready?
01:33Yeah.
01:36The good news is I can't see much.
01:38Now you can start seeing the wood.
01:40Right.
01:41All the beautiful wood.
01:42Yeah.
