30% more efficient wind turbines

November 21st, 2008  |  Published in Progress, Technology

From Engadget:

[A] startup called ExRo has developed turbines that it says are consistently 30% — and in some situations as much as 100% — more efficient than the standard kind. The traditionally-used mechanical transmissions have been replaced with an inexpensive electric alternative that can adapt to changes in wind speed more efficiently.

Sounds like good news to me.
