More on Video on Small Wind

It came as no surprise when the promoter of this small wind turbine was upset by my post the other day “Video on Small Wind,” in which I pointed out that his claims were preposterous.  I began, “Will the wind turbine here generate electricity?  Yes.  Will it do so cost-effectively?  Not in a million years,” and then went on to explain why.

In the conversation that ensued on Facebook, I referred to him as a charlatan, and he replied, “I’m just an inventor who’s trying to make the world a better place.”

No.  Charlatans don’t make the world a better place.
