Maglev wind : is it real?
A few months ago, I saw this online. Now that it’s come back around a second time, it’s got to be true. Right?
If this turns out to be A) feasible and B) economical, this could be a serious game changer in the wind industry. One of the criticisms of wind is that it doesn’t scale as easily as fossil fuel power plants. The Maglev challenges this by scaling up to 5000 megawatts (the article says 5000 watts, but I think that’s a typo).
The part of the story that makes it most believable is that China is leading the charge in developing the technology. It’s no surprise that tomorrow’s innovative energy solution is going to come from the East.
Stay tuned and wait for a few of these giant turbines poking up on the horizon.
