Spin Me Right Round: Introduction
Read the following article excerpt about the current energy crisis:
| “Have you ever thought about harvesting the power of the wind to fly? Well, the Green Machine Power Company (GMPC) has been thinking about harvesting wind power for the last three decades.Now, they have completed development on a process that can harness more than 30% more energy from the wind than any other process to date. All they need is a patch of wind. GMPC knows the place to harvest wind is where it grows in abundance year round, by the ocean. Unfortunately, every oceanfront community from Maine to the Keys is shutting them out. It seems that the wealthy landowners of our coastal plains are more interested in aesthetics and tourism than they are about the looming energy crisis. GMPC is offering a cost effective, efficient alternative energy source, and instead of choosing to fly with it, America is choosing to blow them off.” |
