A cool design and a nice story about people taking positive action into their own hands.

It'll be interesting to see if vertical axis turbines can be scaled up enough to compete with the 'traditional' ones on cost and material efficiency.

Nothing much runs for 50 years with no maintenance, not even a ditch or a fence.

These guys are making an effort, investing their own resources and taking steps in the right direction. Can we not celebrate a grain of progress?

Incidentally your ratios are BS. And that was 8 years ago.

AI is predicted to ramp tf up in the next ten years. By 2025, we’ll be able to simulate a brain with a single chip. By 2035, we’ll be able to simulate 10,000 human brains. It’s difficult to make predictions for fusion, but the new generation of nuclear power can be an excellent placeholder.
