FYI -- this looks it may have great potential!

The Power of STRAND ENERGY
Since oil was discovered and first harnessed in the late 1800's, the
world has experienced an unprecedented growth in population and
quality of life. However, we are only, now, coming to the collective
realization that oil is a finite energy resource used to produce
electricity that is in infinite demand. With news headlines about Peak
Oil having been reached along with the growing demand for oil from
industrialized countries like India and China, it is time to seriously
consider how we will make up for the expected shortfall in energy
supply.
What sustainable energies solutions are there?
Considering carbon-based energy has been shown to pollute our
environment, we need to be careful that the next energy solution we
choose, does not add to the problem. While Nuclear supporters state
they can make its toxic elements safe by burying the waste until a
future generation has learned how to deal with it, it has been shown
that the world has also reached peak uranium supplies, making the
creation of new Nuclear plants energy-intensive and cost-prohibitive
considering the short-lived benefit and long-term threat. "Clean Coal"
emissions are dealt with in a similar way to Nuclear radiation -
"Carbon Sequestration" uses great amounts of energy to pump the
resulting Co2 emissions into an air-tight chamber, below ground, to be
dealt with by future generations. Tidal energy, while clever and
clean, cannot escape the problem of corrosive salt water from the ocean.
The only real alternatives that can achieve a huge reduction in
harmful emissions, while offering immediate benefits, are Solar and
Wind. Yet, it is a little-publicized fact that Solar Panels, for all
the utopian promise, currently have their own environmental toxins
that go into landfill sites after a limited lifespan of increasingly
diminished output. Current Horizontal Axel Wind Turbines (HAWT) - as
seen in Wind Farms - have reached their maximum engineered size and
are based on an out-moded design that only accepts wind passively.
