In the interest of this conversation, has there been any study of the
energy generation that could be acheived by placing wind generators on the
skyscrapers downtown? The wind voloumn seven hundred feet up from the street is
considerable and pretty constant. The "masts" have already been built, why not
rent the roofs and put an energy farm up there?
Just a guess, but I bet there's more megawatts above our heads than in
the century old mill races below our feet.
I don't wish to denegrate in any way the concept of Crown Hydro, I think
it's a cool idea in an historical place. I'd love to see a mock up or small
working generator in place.
I just think we're in a different time.
