New Wind Turbine on Grouse Mountain

I'm sitting in Lisa's apartment at 15th and Main enjoying my coffee with a view. From her place I can see from Golden Ears and SFU all the way to The Lions. The sun is about a hand above the eastern horizon somewhere over Metrotown and the bustle on Main Street is picking up to a pleasant din. There's a new addition to the skyline in my view. A giant turbine on top of Grouse Mountain is shouting loud and clear: Canada is going with Wind Energy. Whether it's a political statement, practical placement, or moral abatement the turbine is now there.

some cool small turbine designs

German wind company Venco was just purchased by Helix Wind in a move that should bring more affordable micro-wind-turbine design closure to your local Home Hardware or Canadian Tire. I'm beginning to wonder when more forward thinking designs like these two companies are putting out will start to by built on a larger scale.
