I put Paul Lipps in the original submission title since he was the original author. His web page is not up anymore, so it's on some less than reliable site. The moderators' change lost that info. It's related to the popular article by Robert X. Cringely. He advocated Lipps' ideas for wind energy, with previous discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11643410 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11643410 Sadly not realized after Lipps died. However, with Lipps describing his thought process here, it seems likely that it would be possible to repeat it / learn from it. I guess optional comment fields for links have been considered and decided against.
