Wind Turbines for the City

Kristen Lee on December 5, 2008 | 1293 Views

For wind power, there has long been a challenge to place turbines closer to the areas that use their energy. A company called Quietrevolution seems to making progress, however, as they have designed turbines to be quieter and more attractive for urban use- atop city buildings.  How's that for a shorter gridline?

Boasting a recent installation of eight turbines atop a building in London, the company has lots to talk about. Their designs are nearly silent and complement buildings. In addition, various sizes are available. 

Check out the article for further details:
