this is nice.

They should make it even more large scale, strong enough to resist with no damage in huricane areas of the world. I would love to work on a project like that.

"....When there is an increase in demand, the utilities automatically adjust things to get the cheapest electricity available. When there is a decrease in demand , they automatically turn down their most expensive power plants. Utilities generally have to be FORCED to buy wind power" In other words wind power has not passed the market test and never will. It has passed public opinion test and that's all that matters, but it does not change the physics and physics makes it pointless.

I'd like to mention a book about solar energy "the Solar Fraud " by PhD Howard C. Hayden. On page 134 he points out something that goes unnoticed. " If wind were a viable power source, utilities would be champing at the bit to use it. Utilities use every technology available to cut their fuel costs....... Let me more specific about this. All utilities know the exact cost down to a fraction of a penny per kWh of producing electricity from every individual power plant (cont..)

'No shortage of wind in the UK.' You're not kidding...or should he have said 'Hot air'. 'N-power juice'...You'd have to be a complete and total idiot to sign up to something that will cost you more for exactly the same thing as your neighbour. Save while you can though, because within the next few years we won't have a choice.
