WOW - Mobile Networks Powered By Wind

This is a fantastic idea and one I have been pushing for! All they need to do is add WiMax to the solution and you really have a home run here!

This would be perfect to roll out in areas like Oregon and other parts of our vast wilderness!

I am sure SAR related agencies would welcome this level of technology to their areas. Can you imagine the difference in can make in finding someone?

Also there is tremendous commerce opportunity for states to interact with tourists in remote areas as well including advertising coupled with multimedia history of the area.

"Night Wind" aims to maximize energy produced by the wind

Roland Piquepaille discusses a brilliant idea on his blog this weekend.

Basically a test is being conducted where energy that is being created by the wind will be stored in refridgerated warehouses through a method of increased cooling during the night and decreased cooling during the peak daytime hours. Esenttially allowing the extra energy to be used during peak.

The project is being reported at Nature but Roland does a much better job at describing it and uses an energy consumption chart to illustrate the idea.

It is these incremental ideas that will make the biggest difference in our energy usage and will work to cut our ongoing emissions into the atmosphere. The time has come for wind energy.
