I am sure it will be built one day probably in Dubai I like the Dynamic Tower and how it will be able to generate enough electricity to power 6 other buildings like it.

Hate to sound negative but: altho any wind option is greener, use of energy produces waste heat [see Laws of Thermodynamics], and it's the human pattern to simply use more capacity if more is available [build a wider road, more people drive on it...]. So all the innovation in the world ain't gonna save us from ourselves. [More] technology will NOT save us. That aside, wind options are a better way of being stupid. Why i really wrote: whatever happened to that Grumman's wind turbine, from back in the 80's i think [Popular Science did a feature article on it]. A researcher by the name of Yen came up with an "augumented vortex" technology that supposedly milked unprecedented energy from wind. It looked like a cylindrical seashell pointing upwards.
