The Pipe used to transport and store this form of energy then turns into a Track Pipe, or TRIPE, an innovative new two hundred year design for transportation. I have the system outlined with illustrations at my web page www.environmentalfisherman.com. This TRIPE system report introduces the new green grid. The system carries all maner of things too, such as Natural Gas, broad band, compost tea, water, you name it, very very versatile with multiple cash flows. Great news about the new wind farm. But if we really want power, we need to get high, and that means using the Georges Bank Mega Mills. - Steven J.

The land used for windmills can be used for other things also. When my father lease land on his farm for windmills he didn't loose the 100 acres they are spaced over. Yes he did make them de-compact the soil they had compress to make the access paths for build. But now each is just a small foot print in the field. The "Magenn Air Rotor System" (MARS) system in the link by mkass would have an even larger spacing issue, since they need to be spread out enough so as not to become tangle together. - Matt Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:25:09 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/wind-power/3244-california-breaks-ground-on-nations-largest-wind-f#comment-40501 When do we get to hear about California Breaking Wind on Nation's Largest Ground Farm? Sorry... had to. - Kat Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:38:58 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/wind-power/3244-california-breaks-ground-on-nations-largest-wind-f#comment-40497 Sooner or later there's going to be some push back on the land use issues of massive wind farms. I'm a fan of the idea of natural energy generation. I don't want to see it derailed by some misguided nimbyism. So maybe there's another way of looking at wind generation: http://organicconnectmag.com/wp/2009/12/from-war-machine-to-clean-energy/ - mkass Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:57:39 +0100
