But aren't Propellers on Towers a little outdated as well? There's nothing new or perfectable about these dinosaur ICON's except thei prices. Just try to find out their real all inclusive costs with R & D, Manufacture, installation, Convetional Power Plant back-up, inverter and access hook-up, insurance and down time, grid interruption and fluctuations, and the built -in speculative investor's profits. And remember, all those Government partnered funds, subsidies and GREEN credits someday get added on to the taxpayer/consumer's bill too. So, if you're going to chase the wind, shouldn't you study the 'Alternatives" to produce electricity from wind using the most cost effective and efficient means? So, what about a proven design concept of multiple contoured fins and a dyno in the hub rotating WITH the flow of the wind and stabilizing gyroscopically? Lookin at all other versions of turbines, aviation, steam, and even Turbo-Chargers on diesels and cars, they all have multiple contoured fins, and even the giant propeller does work best vertically on helicopters. Just wait and see if they don't obsolete most of these propeller towers before they even break even with NEW, Bigger, Better, just like cars, computers, phones and airplanes. 2007? isn’t that a little out-dated for 2009?
