That's pretty cool! Here's another company offering Hovering Wind Turbine Technology:

Briza Technologies - Expanding your business possibilities.

Cute!!!

The state Public Utilities Commission on Friday approved a 15-year, 85-megawatt contract for Pacific Gas & Electric to get wind energy from Oregon. That should cover about 200 homes. It´s slow but it is a start in the right direction.

There is also the Chetwood Wind Dam that is being developed that looks very promising. It's a cool design that could work well in mountain gorges.

Yes, it does look amazing. What I find ironic, is anywhere we visit in Europe we see wind power being harnessed. Denmark, Sweden and now Spain is planning to place these windmills along the Med. When is the US going to follow suit?

I agree that the U. S. is now playing catch up in regard to wind energy. What I find mystifying also is that areas with moderate wind like Palm Springs will have a huge wind farm, but I don't know of any around the Gulf Coast. I would think hurricane season alone would generate enough wind energy for the entire year if you store it in batteries or hydrogen.

Yes the Gulf Coast, Chicago and the northeast from Delaware to Maine would be perfect.

I like it all, especially the first one that looks like a balloon. I think that wind generators are evolving from time to time. In the future we might see this inventions on a lot of home.

We have some windfarms here where we live. I would love to have one to power our home as some people in our town do.

My parents are actually looking into investing in a wind generator as a source of power as they live on a farm that has high elevation and a nearly constant strong breeze. I'm all for it and hope to see more wind farms springing up in North America as we seem to be sadly lagging behind Europe in this sense.
