Anyone seen this?

The first units in production will be a 4Kw residential unit that will cost ten thousand dollars, and can be ordered this spring from the Ottawa-area company.

NOW THIS, IMO, is a application of wind power than seems, on its face, is a more practical that propeller turbines. The "footprint" and maintenance costs seem like they might be more manageable as well.

Secondly, they are portable to the location where power is needed.

Hawkmoon ..

I thought his idea of phasing out existing
baseload coal power plants and reusing the
existing plant sites and related infrastructure
for new Nukes was a good viable route forward
assuming reducing CO2 emissions without a major powerdown
is a desirable future outcome ..
