And now for something completely different . . .

Reminds me of another, far more appealing, non-turbine wind energy conversion system (WECS) noted in a long forgotten science fiction story. These generators were fields of synthetic grass with piezoelectric devices attached to them. Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
