Quite exciting methinks.

Frankly I am very rapidly growing weary of the energy solutions designed for none but the filthy rich

Indubitably! As if I care to know what neat new energy technologies the rich can afford while I have difficulty paying my own energy bills.
Riiight.

This simple-looking $633 thingamajig is said to be able to crank out 20-60% of the power needed in a house, but we assume that would be on a day the wind is blowing, and the house in question’s occupants don’t feel like baking a cake while chilling down the place to 65 degrees.</P></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://dvice.com/archives/2008/07/philippe_starck.php"><P>We’ve seen <A href="http://dvice.com/archives/2007/07/03/personal_wind_t.html" linkindex="100">plenty </A>of <A href="http://dvice.com/archives/2007/11/09/maglev_wind_tur.html" linkindex="101" set="yes">personal</A> wind <A href="http://dvice.com/archives/2006/07/07/skystream_bring.html" linkindex="102" set="yes">turbines</A> before, but this one brings more power at the lowest price point yet. Starck’s turbine is looking great, too, decked out in stainless steel, signal orange or crazy transparent style. This is not just some spacey concept, either — the new electricity generators will be shipping to everyone in September.  Let’s just hope it’s not too noisy, or the neighbors might generate a whirlwind of complaints.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AD5471B5-DAE7-4E92-9EAA-D63609357296/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
