this is the best idea I've ever heard. well, besides the decapitations during accidents. though that's pretty cool too.

that looks sick. it would probably cause mass devastation during an ice storm?

on another note, i'm all for cape wind.

now thats innovative thinking. its funny how people immediately start bashing on it when its only in its inception.

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.

I hope that they do it. those column types are along side the highway.

NIMBY because I am ignorant.

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.

yeah, it's wicked ugly on most highways. why not make small wind turbines to power LED street lights?



toggletoggle post by pam   at Apr 30,2007 3:15pm
Because that takes money out of big electric's pockets. Thus it will never happen.

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 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.

that is an interesting concept help the environment with something we are destroying it with.
the wind turbines for street lights is a good idea but it needs some sort of back system in case the wind doesn't work.
