Wind Harvesting
Placing wind turbines in more Efficient places like along busy Highway medians seems like a great to help out the wind industry.
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTS) may Help due to their ability to capture wind from Many Directions without having to adjust. I have also been toying with an Idea about a company that deploys high velocity capturing wind turbines that are Mobile. When there is a powerful wind Storm, Hurricane, or Tornado they send the mobile turbines out to capture the free High Powered wind. The energy is then stored in Batteries to be distributed to homes that lose connection to the grid while the connections are Repaired. Once the lines are repaired the batteries are Retrieved and the customer never had to lose power for very long. Another storage method could be to use the energy to break water into Hydrogen and Oxygen through the a process known as Electrolysis then use the two gasses at a later time (the problem here is transporting hydrogen can be dangerous so it is better to create and use it at the same location). Imagine if FEMA had this technology during Katrina. They would have been able to get energy to all of the people who Desperately Needed it and went Without.
