Swedes rule the wind

My obsession with Sweden is far from casual. But it is not only the origin of this new company "HomeEnergy" that inspires me to write, it is their potential revolutionize the image (and therefore reality) of wind power generation.

Traditionally wind power has been the dominion of large farms of angular blades. I love a sharp edge, but the iconic value of the image does limit both the appeal and application. With this new design and scalability wind production could see an entirely new life as an importantly normal aspect of home design, like what sort of roof or siding to select.
