I tend to be the environmentally conscientious sort. I try to do the right thing in my purchasing decisions and life choices. So, as you might expect, I am of two minds with wind power. On the one hand, I love wind turbines: I think they look cool, make a cool noise, and generate power that is relatively economic and, overall, not too bad in terms of environmental effects. Unfortunately, they also seem to kill bats and birds, which is not nice.
With that in mind, you can understand why a paper about using leaf structures to extract energy from the wind caught my eye. It turns out to be a very cool idea that has a long way to go to become competitive. And, unfortunately, I can't really see where the breakthroughs that might make it competitive will come from.
