This is not a question of Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, of Betamax or VHS, that can best be decided upon by the market.  Wind power can be scientifically studied.  Just as car designers put their cars in a wind tunnel, why can&#8217;t wind power designers?  And come to think of it, airplane manufacturers are all about drag as well, and I am sure they have even more sophisticated tools and larger wind tunnels.  <\/p>\n<p>It is one thing to put your design on a mountain and see what happens.  But it is another to study it under controlled conditions.  I think the car and plane manufacturers should open up their labs to wind power designers.  All study wind and drag.  <\/p>\n<p>Boeing, Ford, GM: Help save the world.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li>No Related Posts Found!
