Wind power in cities

© 2004 Eugene S. Takle

Most wind turbines are located in remote areas as isolated towers or farms of towers each having a single turbine. New designs discussed by Knight (2004) would bring multiple turbine to the tops of buildings in major cities. A possible design choice for the replacement to New York City's World Trade Center is building with multiple turbines on top. It would have height of 1,776 ft.
