No, you speed it on its way. Then the next wind farm downstream can take advantage of it and recover the wind you created. Much more efficient than using wires to transport electricity.

It is hard for me to imagine that anyone is taking this seriously. On face value, it's a silly idea. Dig into even the basic facts and it becomes preposterous.

Typical Commander Kinky stuff.

Not untypical for a thinking person's group. Even if an idea is wacky,
people kick it around, and see what comes out of it. Sometimes one

makes literalness funny.

A little nonsense now and then
