Even if it did, landlords and capitalism generally will drive prices to the pain point again.

Did they also look at how the diamond mining industry gives us movies like blood diamond, and songs like conflict diamonds by Lupe fiasco?
What songs and movies have synthesized diamonds given us?

Reply to Aeromine says they have solved many of the problems that have long made domestic rooftop wind power compare poorly to solar panels. They claim their "motionless" rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price while taking up just 10% of the roof space. by lughnasadh
I wonder if this can be used to help pull heat from things also.
Like, let's say you have it pull the hot air from a bank of ac units, or refrigeration, or something like that. If the ambient air it is pulling is hotter than the low pressure air created, you should have even more energy, no?
I can imagine that the cheap fan would have low heat tolerance, but I'm not talking about something like restaurant exhaust. Just increasing the cooling of an ac unit should help lower energy costs.
