Here is the latest on the Vortex Bladeless wind technology. I think this is where wind is going. This technology eliminates several objections people have to wind power bladed turbines. And they are going to be much cheaper. This is very good news. I think the next step we are going to see is wind, solar, storage battery mixed individual house systems that take people off the grid. I think people will line up to buy them, and significant fortunes will be made by increasing wellness. Energy is going decentralize no matter what the carbon industries do to block the transition. That said there is about a 65% chance that monopolistic carbon era energy corporations will be too dumb and greedy to see the inevitability of the trend, and will defend carbon energy until it simply withers and dies like the gas lamp industry. By the time their executives wake up it will be too late. And I calculate this will happen by 2045.
