Obvious Solution
I swear that this idea has been floating in my head for a while now. But just like the snuggie and PODS (portable on demand storage system) that I of course also thought of first, I was unable to put my vision to paper. This design integrates vertical wind turbines into the transmission line structures.This idea conquers the dilemma of marrying transmission lines to the clean energy source. Genius!! Hopefully this wont just be a photo shop file left on someones computer but that it will actually be built on a massive scale to help the world wash its hands of dirty, non-renewable fuels.
This design won this year’s Next Generation competition and with good reason. See the treehugger full post here.
very cool. I think the larger structures might be too much of a pipe dream to really take off. However, the retrofitting has a lot of promise.
