Wind Power Sequence:
"As the U.S. Navy reckons it, one minute of one hurricane releases more energy than that of the combined atomic bomb arsenals of the United States and Russia. Design-science-wise it is simply a matter of coping with the calm zephyr, gale, or hurricane variabilities of wind power.
"Great corporations have not as yet ventured into this field because wind energy has not seemed to be monopolizable over a pipe or wire. However, enterprise can be rewarded, in greater magnitude than ever before, by producing and renting world-around wind-harnessing apparatus-- as they already do in the computer, telephone, car rental, and hoteling service industries.
“Hydrogen, harvested in the manner I described can be used immediately to operate all the world’s piston or turbine-driven engines now driven by gasified petroleum products. The National Science Foundation spokesman has recently and publicly confirmed my statement that wind power can take care of all of our Earth’s energy needs, and this can be accomplished in short order. The National Science Foundation’s development strategy, however, is aimed exclusively at producing large,”
