Default Clever UK New Invention:Traffic-powered turbines

https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/ne...ckyard-235240/


[An entrepreneur from Whitstable believes
his design for a brand new onshore wind turbine system
will be crucial in delivering cheap
renewable energy to the UK and beyond.

The turbines, attached to existing lamp posts
along motorways, would use the wind created
by vehicles speeding past to generate electricity,
using it to power the lights and eventually a lot more.]

Cool, not that it'll offset the environmental damage done by cars.

The 2 Inventors
want it put on the Road to the Glasgow Green Summit
in some months time.


California, NYC and India are also interested in the New UK invention.

Knowing China
they may copy the design
