Interesting new idea on wind power generation - azstrummer - 5/22/2009 12:26:45 PM
- I would still think that a proper wind turbine would harvest - David F Mayer - 5/25/2009 1:25:39 AM

        LOL!..me too Eri (n/t) - Jody - 5/24/2009 7:30:00 PM
        
        Maybe the generators will end up creating soothing "white noise." - TB - 5/24/2009 7:26:23 PM
        
        Or we could just build a few hundred nuclear reactors and not worry about it. - Lee - 5/25/2009 1:44:28 PM
        
        Sure. Let's give terroriest a few more things to target. (n/t) - Eri - 5/26/2009 2:54:34 AM

        Well, sure. - TB - 5/25/2009 3:00:35 PM

        Doesn't surprise me. - Eri - 5/24/2009 10:47:30 PM
        
        It's just a really inefficient vertical axis turbine - mip - 5/24/2009 11:29:39 AM
        
        Efficiency isn't the primary goal - TB - 5/24/2009 7:24:45 PM
