New Wind Turbine That Looks Like a Tree Is Coming to Paris
- dalke 12y agoI have a hard time believing that will be cost effective. I started to describe my reasons, then found that http://blog.cleanenergy.org/2015/01/05/windtree/ http://blog.cleanenergy.org/2015/01/05/windtree/ did a much better job, and included factors I hadn't thought of. 1. It’s purely for aesthetics. 2. Ever heard of “wake effect?” 3. Making a wind turbine look like a bird’s natural habitat isn’t a great idea. 4. Short turbines don’t produce a lot of energy. 5. It’s way more expensive than just about every other form of power generation. 6. It won’t pay for itself in 2 years. 7. It won’t power most of your home. 8. It won’t win over anti-wind activists.
