turn highways into windfarms[views:1672][posts:16]_______________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 11:29am - the_reverend ""] http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/30/proposa...ould-turn-highways-into-wind-farms/ this is the best idea I've ever heard. well, besides the decapitations during accidents. though that's pretty cool too. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 30,2007 12:04pm - Mess ""] that looks sick. it would probably cause mass devastation during an ice storm? on another note, i'm all for cape wind. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 30,2007 12:37pm - Yeti ""] now thats innovative thinking. its funny how people immediately start bashing on it when its only in its inception. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 30,2007 12:38pm - Mess ""] yeah man :ralphie: |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 1:43pm - thegreatspaldino ""] before i even clicked on this thread, i read the title and immediately thought of the overheard turbine idea. i clicked on the thread and opened the link and was like "HEY! I JUST THOUGHT OF THAT!" i think its a great idea. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 2:48pm - HailAtWork ""] That would be badass... |

| _____________________________ [Apr 30,2007 3:02pm - pam ""] It's a great idea that Republicans will somehow argue against. Mark my words. This will somehow embolden the enemy. Seriously though, fucking genius. Hope it happens. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 3:08pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, it's wicked ugly on most highways. why not make small wind turbines to power LED street lights? |
| _____________________________ [Apr 30,2007 3:15pm - pam ""] Because that takes money out of big electric's pockets. Thus it will never happen. |
| _____________________________ [Apr 30,2007 3:16pm - pam ""] I don't think turbines are ugly at all. I think they're cool to look at and considering the benefits of them, aesthetics shouldn't matter. |

I think they're cool to look at and considering the benefits of them, aesthetics shouldn't matter. i absolutely agree. i dont spend time on the highway thinking about how nice it is, i like to pay attention to the road. people should be looking at the damn road and the people around them, not whats above them or how pretty it looks. |
