Most passengers turn their heads, nodding off on a neighbor or burying their noses in <I>Le Monde</I>, but for a triumvirate of young designers, the sight is a view of the future. The passing turbines and pylons augur a new way to harness renewable energy in a country that relies almost entirely on nuclear power. “When we’re riding on the train, we al-ways see pylons, and some turbines too,” Nicola Delon says. “We say, ‘Both are here. Can’t we mix them together?’”</DIV></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/popup_image.php?image_id=17372&slideshow_speed=120" href="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/popup_image.php?image_id=17372&slideshow_speed=120" style="font-size: 11px;">www.metropolismag.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/popup_image.php?image_id=17372&slideshow_speed=120"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.metropolismag.com/img/90D8ECF6-0697-4391-9FF9-107B6C3BF1B4" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/popup_image.php?image_id=17379&slideshow_speed=120" href="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/popup_image.php?image_id=17379&slideshow_speed=120" style="font-size: 11px;">www.metropolismag.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/popup_image.php?image_id=17379&slideshow_speed=120"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.metropolismag.com/img/8EB33AE7-8D08-4ADF-B557-A4D96055DC27" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/popup_image.php?image_id=17381&slideshow_speed=120" href="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/popup_image.php?image_id=17381&slideshow_speed=120" style="font-size: 11px;">www.metropolismag.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/popup_image.php?image_id=17381&slideshow_speed=120"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.metropolismag.com/img/5A4DDC3A-2443-4AF1-8267-26F3CB6CE891" alt="" /></div></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/D0B8A963-0FE9-4BA5-8B9F-59889037CF62/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.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>
