This is a must watch for anyone interested in wind power. Heck it’s a must watch for everyone!
5 minutes, that’s all.
Working on megawatt machines.
- Cessna wing span produces 230kW
- Gulf Stream 1.3MW
- 747 6MW
How much is 6MW? eSolar’s Sierra Sun Tower produces 5MW of energy supplied to 4,000 homes. Though large coal-fired, nuclear, and hydroelectric power stations can generate a few gigawatts and we need terawatts.
Saul Griffith’s kites tap wind energy
As per Saul’s WWII example, I again say energy will not be our limiting resource. There are too many solutions, there will be too many development and maybe just maybe there will be an awareness about and more efficient use of all resources.
