Katrick Technologies have successfully completed their first round of prototype testing with their urban Wind Panel technology., exceeding targets set by industry leaders.
Interestingly, they say testing has so far exceeded their expectations, and that they believe the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for this may be comparable to wind turbines. One of existing wind turbine technology’s biggest drawbacks is limitations on location. This technology sounds like it would have far fewer problems with that. If it works, it may be able to dramatically broaden the places wind can create electricity.

I’m hopeful floating wind will go through a solar growth.
Once it becomes successful and factories made that can just pump them out on an assembly line things could be different.
But it is a matter of if that is possible and at what point someone is going to built an insanely expensive factory.
