Reply to Aeromine says they have solved many of the problems that have long made domestic rooftop wind power compare poorly to solar panels. They claim their "motionless" rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price while taking up just 10% of the roof space. by lughnasadh
Seems like it might be good for buildings along coastlines.

Also can't burn. It's even less of an issue if you are bolting them to the ground at a wind farm where land is dirt cheap.

Probably larger battery for same amount of storage. But if you're just bolting it to a concrete slab at a PV/windfarm that's not a big deal.

So this is a big step forward for home/grid storage. Zinc is a safe, cheap widely available resource. We make pennies out of it.

There was some comedian who's sketch was about how little the sentence for attempted murder was. It's like "What couldn't close the deal? Well you can go now, we'll catch up with you when you get it right".
