US Army to be powered by wind
If Greenbang was to ask you what your favourite oxymoron is, what would you say? Sporting personality? Drink responsibly? Well, Greenbang’s would have to be US Army Intelligence. She doesn’t immediately think of trigger-happy cannon fodder as being able to solve hard-rated sudokos, nor being able to pick up a copy of A Brief History of Time< and get past page three.
Nonetheless, US Army Intelligence has made the smart move of buying 50KW wind power plant for its HQ in Fort Huachuca in Arizona. Mass Megawatts Wind Power will supply the goods.
The wind power plant, which also goes by the catchy name of Multiaxis Turbosystem, will be built using Mass Megawatts’ newly developed augmenter technology which it claims put it on a price par with coal and gas powered electricity.
US Army Intelligence HQ’s wind farm is part of the US Army’s first steps into using renewable energies to power its war machine and achieving energy independence. There is a ready market if the project is successful, with the US mainland alone hosting more than 50 Army installations.
Greenbang wonders if this will put the wind up its enemies.
