Archive of tag "WindTronics"

With cleverness and good-old-fashioned supply and demand.

WindTronics is selling a $6,000 wind turbine at Ace Hardware that can power 20% of your household needs.

If power gets really expensive or unreliable, we’ll all run out and buy five of them. I don’t know about you, but my TiVo and laptop are getting electricity, whatever it takes.

And that demand will drive the price to $1,000, and it’ll be available at every Home Depot and Walmart. Apartment buildings and realtors will be bragging about self-powered properties.

Americans like to argue about theoretical solutions forever. But when the sh-t hits the turbine, we do what we need to do to get it fixed.
