A good looking Wind Turbine


There are a lot of new ideas in wind-power that make home use more palatable. Here is an idea that should look good and work well in many locations. It won't generate enough power to take most people off the grid, but it could easily reduce your monthly power bill.

That’s where the virtually NIMBY-proof Ridgeblade turbine comes in. The turbine, designed by a former Rolls Royce turbine engineer at UK-based The Power Collective, boasts a sleek profile that is both powerful and visually pleasing."
