I remember reading, not so long ago; about a proposal to harness very reliable on-shore breezes in coastal areas utilizing long horizontal pipes and internal turbines to generate electricity .. similar idea on a smaller scale and should be cheap to test for 'proof of concept'. Not a bad idea. Where I live there is a very reliable on-shore breeze during the summertime. I guess the real problem is whether it would be worth building such a system if it can't be used 3/4 of the year? Would it make economic sense?
