Wind power is one of the fastest growing forms of alternative energy in the world. More and more, wind power mills are seen in the countryside, in large wind farms and for the most part, away from city life. But a new form of wind power is now designed to work in an urban environment. VOA producer Zulima Palacio has the story. Mill Arcega narrates.

How about the countless Golden Eagles that are killed in So. Cal? Don’t think too many house cats are nabbing them.
support north american power and american wind as we improve americas future by decreasing dependancy on foreign oil supply, decreasing prices of food and gas and increasing job employment. Share my video on my page with everyone you know.
Anybody got 100 thousand dollars laying around.
@mojoeshaw And I am personally a Green, and I vote Socialist and Communist some times.
Every law, including laws that make it a crime for people to stop polluters or animal torturers in factory farms, is, by definition, big government.
If someone makes a law that prevents me from having free speech, then I’ll make a law limiting how much property they can own.
Governments (i.e. taxpayers) completely subsidize nuclear power and pay for their cleanup.
What part of that don’t you get?
@mphello Are you serious? “big-government-loving nukeheads?” Funny, I keep seeing and hearing those that are for nuclear energy being anti-big government and not exactly loving nuclear power but understanding it’s cleaner than coal. I am personally a libertarian and if you think I’m a supporter of big government then you have no idea what it means to be libertarian. In fact, I’m moving next spring and hope to net meter my house with two wind turbines and a solar system. My F U to the utilities.
@RagingBubuli don’t forget to plan for the dead birds and bats and honeybees…
you’ll need a place to bury them EVERYDAY.
Plan on making the rounds every morning to pick up the dead bats
and every afternoon to pick up the dead birds.
Intelligent women know this is a loser.
big time bird killer..my family would never ever buy one of these bird and bee killers.
pass.
ok ok ok, but; do you have a site on Internet???
Excellent
@nekbiodieselworks actually, a HOUSEcat doesn’t kill any birds, unless they’re also pet birds. The indoor/outdoor cat would be the cat you’re thinking about.
Gotta share this video with my folks on Google+.
Screw the big-government-loving nukeheads.
Ban coal and nuclear. All countries should mandate all their electricity come from wind and solar.
Funny – after an earthquake or tsunami, I don’t hear or see on the news BILLIONS of dollars being spent to clean up a busted wind farm and endless babysitting of non-existent “wind power waste”. I wonder why that is.
Oh, yeah – because it’s NOT NUCLEAR!
Im sure it will pay for itself…..in 450 years.
@wineverytime1 unless you let someone else get it first and just steal the plans later.
Planning to get one.
Fusion is the way. China is spending millions on Fusion research and dedicating 2000 Scientists. Who gets to Fusion first wins.
@goose2goose2 I believe the true answer lies in the top 2 comments
@dzgfdg
ANSWER: My Fanily gives a shit about Birds, Bats an Honeybees..
this fucking turbines kills all of them…
the answer is simple, we won’t evey buy one, and we’ll show everyone we know your comment.
See how that works?
haha, how the hell could something so simple have just been discovered
@bbeirinckx
also there is the matter of shading, these will kill farms as they’re know, distance between turbines will double or triple.
also, wind is unreliable, if it blows to strong power is lost, if to soft it won’t rotate the blades properly, the modulating energy caps output to it’s lowest possible.
there should be a hibrid sistem, that would create and store hidrogen for oxy combustion
My god… they call this innovation? These ideas are around for decades already. The problem is manufacturing related. Try building these things for rotors having a diameter of 50 meter… or 100 m … or 128 m. Once this can be realized, then we can start talking about efficiency.
Oil and mining companies want to destroy this technology and keep us enslaved to their dirty old 19th century tech.
Everything can be fixed with circles
This is not a new idea. Just search for “ducted rotor wind” on google and you will find plenty of similar models.
Japans wind turbines were unaffected by the tsunami and the earthquake.
there are so many innovations that could have came up much earlier if oil has not been so pushed by the oil companies
These new wind turbines will hit American shores sometime in the year 2050! SMH
@Ideefixejanus
God we need ron paul for president in 2012.
@jmjfanss your right, and we let them lie to us about it. but they wont let us in on there lies unless its profitable to them.
@Ideefixejanus
We can drill oil here, we have enough oil in america than in saudi arabia.
Those Japanese are weird as …. , wanting to get it on with robots, and going to a concert of cartoons, and computer generated pop stars, but these guys are smart, they are truely the leaders in technological inovation for sure.
The future gets there first.
Blade is gonna fall of and kill someone…. then people are gonna blame all wind turbines…. thus is the human condition… xD
only question i have is if a tropical storm or hurricane was to hit the area, would the turbines be at risk — or would they remain on — and perhaps the wind from the tropical system provide even greater amounts of energy?
some good news!
@lestliness ..shut up retard.
Common, a brim? This donut thing makes all the difference? Really?
@nephozo Really? How do you know that?
We can’t even run the wind turbines we have at full power because if we did, they would decimate bird populations. This advancement is useless without solving that problem, first.
