Enter a striking new alternative energy concept by Mexican-born Agustin Otegui, who works with economies of a much smaller scale. He has conceived of a next-gen Nano Vent-Skin that sheathes structures in a shimmering solar weave studded with micro-turbines. The concept takes advantage of a structure’s maximum available surface space, and its modular composition allows it to retrofit our old buildings instead of pouring resources into new ones. Plus, the stunning superstructure incorporates micro-organisms to soak up C02.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://peakenergy.blogspot.com/2008/06/solar-micro-turbines.html"><DIV align="center"><A href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/06/04/agustin-otegui-nano-vent-skin/"><IMG src="http://www.inhabitat.com/wp-content/uploads/nanovents4.jpg" /></A></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://peakenergy.blogspot.com/2008/06/solar-micro-turbines.html"><DIV>In the past we’ve covered approaches to alternative energy that seek to synthesize solar with wind.
