There are a number of other vertical axis wind turbines that also have the benefit of greater efficiencies because they are more stable and can take advantage of wind coming from any direction. Some of the newer designs also meet a higher design aesthetic and can be incorporated into light poles, highway information signs, and other public spaces. For home installations, there are a number of options that integrate well into a home's design. When wind is combined with solar and sufficient battery size, power needs can be met quite efficiently on a continuous basis. - Brenda Young

Excerpt: On the pay walls, they’re at war with the basic concept of the Internet. … [A pay wall] denies the logic of platform, but more importantly and perhaps more dangerously is, it is inserting a horrible class bias into our communications. Because if the only quality communications … can only be accessed by people who can pay for it on the Internet, right off the bat you’re knocking out tens of millions of people that don’t even have any kind of realistic Internet access. 54 percent of rural Americans at this point don’t have broadband, 36 percent of Americans generally. And so there’s a real crisis there of who you cut out of the system, and then if you’re saying online, well you’ve got to pay for it, again you’re cutting people out. - Brenda Young
