Wind energy

Imagine having your very own wind turbine in your backyard! Apparently they are becoming more and more affordable, and homeowners are putting them in their backyards. You can even buy them at Canadian Tire, a Canadian hardware store chain that is a lot cooler than I remember it being.

Crazy. There was an article about this in the New York Times today, too.

Douglas says he can build one from a bicycle generator hub. I'll keep you posted.
