這個劍走偏鋒的攝影師，把發電站拍成了藝術

A photographer Jassen Todorov shares his unique perspective on the wind and solar power industries. When seen from thousands of feet in the air, solar installations and wind turbines become abstract works of art. Futuristic and abstract as these sites may seem, the concrete reality is that solar and wind energy are thriving.

攝影師詹森·托多洛夫分享了他拍攝的風能和太陽能發電產業的獨特遠景圖。從幾千英尺的高空中看過去，太陽能發電裝置以及風力發電渦輪機就變成了抽象的藝術品。也許這些場所看上去新潮又抽象，而現實就是太陽能和風能發電產業正在蓬勃發展。

Some large-scale solar power installations concentrate sunlight on a pipe of oil that, once heated, boils water to generate electricity.

一些大規模的太陽能發電裝置把太陽光聚焦到一根油管上，在加熱的時候，就可以使水沸騰來發電。

A row of wind turbines stands tall in California, where officials have pledged to source 50% of the state's energy from renewables by 2030.

一排風力發電渦輪機矗立在加利福尼亞州，官方曾承諾到2030年，這些設備將為本州供應50%的可再生能源。

A wind turbine』s three curved blades can be as long as 200 feet; as they spin, they turn a shaft connected to an electric generator.

一颱風力發電渦輪機的三片弧形葉片可長達200英尺。當它們旋轉的時候，就會轉動連接在發電機上的旋轉軸。

Wind turbines and solar panels in the Mojave Desert, California, provide renewable clean energy. By 2050, 50% of California』s energy could be produced by solar plants and onshore wind.

加利福尼亞莫哈維沙漠中的風力發電渦輪機和太陽能電池板可以提供可再生的清潔能源。到2050年，加利福尼亞50%的能源可以通過太陽能發電廠以及近岸的風力發電設施來供應。

方圓400多英畝的內華達州太陽一號是建於拉斯維加斯正南部的一片炎熱又乾燥的沙漠中的一個大型項目。

Rows of pipe produced by United Spiral Pipe stretch across a lot in California. These custom steel pipes are primarily used in the North American oil and gas industry.

加利福尼亞聯合螺旋鋼管公司生產的一排排管道延伸開來。這些定製鋼管主要用於北美油氣產業。

Todorov started intentionally documenting both the good and the bad: he saw fascinating renewable energy installations, but also oil spills, Superfund sites, and massive pools of toxic waste.

托多洛夫開始有意地記錄好的一面和不好的一面：他看到了迷人的可再生能源設備，也看到了石油泄漏、國家優先處理的有毒場所以及大量有毒的廢料池。
