turbina gigante


Explanation:
Caro colega, a expressão "mamute" em ingês não é traduzivel ipsis literis para o Portugues. Me permita esclarecer que turbina é uma coisa e bomba é outra totalmente diferente. Sugiro para "wind farm" você usar a expressão "parque eólico" que já está consagrada tanto em Portugal como no Brasil. Atenciosamente, Mauro Lando

Dei a resposta no singular porque o colega fez a pergunta no singular. Claro que no texto, ele deve passar ao plural
