    Micro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?

    I think micro turbines can be an installation art. They can be installed in the park.

    everything can be recycled as a closed loop. The community can supply itself, no matter in the food or energy. We all should be educated and have to give up the linear economic model and walk towards the circular economy.
