Wasn't that an idea they came up with like 10 years ago but never implemented it. Gas prices were stil at .98 a gallon, thats what happened.. lol

yep it went thru a pilot program in CA with pretty good success.
And then just dissappeared, with all the EV cars being pulled from private lease arrangements and the EV cars being physically scrapped.

Checked it out, it was actually 1990, so 18 years ago. They only leased them out, and didn't allow them to be sold. Then cancelled the program in 2003 because 'they couldn't make a profit'. Then they sued the State of California. lol

Yep sorry missed this reply before I replied to your other post.

The wind mill building

I don't think so (compared to other wind projects). One great thing about it is you can go up with many levels of windmills (like a sky scrapper) instead of all over the land scape. It could be set in the middle of a city, and produce as much energy as a full field 20 miles away. All you would need is screens on the building to keep the birds out. One floor could be the maintance room with a full machine shop if needed--eliminating miles of transportation and hauling tools and parts every year.

Sounding better?

yes fine for new construction, but retrofittiong of existing existing buildings would be somewhat difficult using this method.
