Sounds like the same idea as the water wheel.

Water wheel?

It goes next to a river, and when the river goes by, it turns the wheel, generating power. It is actually portrayed in a Pikachu short.

It was also used for 100+ years in mills. Where do you think clothing came from in the 1800's?
Also, Hydroelectricity is something that I like. And if the Cape Wind projects doesn't go through, I'll be pissed.

Wow. I came back to this thread, and found new users, and some retardedness (and a combination of the two).

Maybe because it's not always gonna be windy or sunny. That, or our system of government doesn't give a flying ****. Or a more sensible 3rd reason.

Its not always going to be windy and sunny. But in places like Arizona, it's sunny a hell of a lot. and I know that in Boston, the average wind speed per day is 5 MPH. So put wind and solar in the locations that are best for it.

I agree, wind and solar power andgood energy sources, although solar panels still have issues storing vast amounts of power at a time for those rainy days.
Some people are starting to harness lightning bolts for energy. They've only been able to capture a tiny amount of the energy at a time though.

We can put a man on the moon, connect every computer in the world together, and play Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but we can't capture 1.21 gigawatts? *shot*
