conversation, has there been any study of the
energy generation that could be acheived by placing
wind generators on the skyscrapers downtown?

development about this idea about two years ago. I was
told at the time that existing skyscrapers are not

would have a negative impact on the building.
They have designed a wind turbine as part of the new
world trade center in NY. It may be possible to
include this idea into new buildings designs. The idea
does seem to merrit further investigation.
