The Solar Wind entry was awarded second prize in the Solar Park Works – Solar Highway competition and the design clearly has merit.

WOW is right!  Way cool concept.  If this entry was awarded 2nd prize, who got first?

Thanks for the additional information, Ken. Anything further that you find out about MEA’s findings would be very interesting. How did you feel about hearing that SMECO is going to be purchasing some windpower? Mbillard, the bridge concept is very interesting - thanks for sharing that. I’m curious how much vibration it would cause (we all know bridges are a bit flexible) and I wonder about how they’d propose stabilizing it and how it would add to the cost. As I’ve said earlier, I’m for alternative energy solutions when they are meaningful and the cost does not outweigh the benefits. chascolover, how appropriate you chimed in when talk turned to bridges.
