Another take on wind power... my Dad sent it along suggesting it for my boat. A full size one (20') seems it might be a bit big for me, but a smaller unit (or a bigger boat) and it might be just the thing.

After the article on hydrokinetic turbine the other day, Bob was kind enough to point out that the article was incorrect saying that it was the first such installation... there is another by Verdant Power in New York's East River. They have computer simulation videos and the like on their home page.

Thanks for the info, Bob!
