SWIFT Rooftop wind turbine..... [RE-wrenches]

[Windy Dankoff]

<x-flowed>

What IS it about wind power? It inspires hopes and dreams, brings out  
the inner child. More mysteriously, it seems to inspire the fantasy  
that one can transcend the rules, beat the system, and make a lot of  
money doing so. The thrust, turbulence, vibrations and gyroscopic  
forces are invisible, not obvious to the ignorant. People believe  
it's just a big pinwheel.

It's a repeat of the 1970's, when such fantasies proliferated. I  
studied old literature back then and found that similar ideas had  
been rampant in the 1920's, before the first wind-electric industry  
was established and grounded in reality.

I hate to be redundant, but it's deja-vu all over again.
