The Lower Visual Impact of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

Vertical axis wind turbines are lower to the ground but have a different visual signature. This is more apparent because the blades move more slowly than they do for those large turbines. The reason you don't see them everywhere now, given what I've just told you, is that there's still work to be done to improve their reliability. But we're not actually there yet. There just hasn't been a lot of investment in these new types of technologies as it's very expensive to develop a new energy hardware.
