New (to me) type of wind turbine

 New (to me) type of wind turbine from Gual Industrie:
http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Gual_Industrie_StatoEolien_Vertical-Axis_Wind_Turbine#Official_Website

It can generate in wind speeds up to 150 km/h (93 mph), and will withstand winds
up to 200 km/h (124 mph). Hence, the electricity
production rate is 30% superior to horizontal axis wind turbines.
- Independent of the wind direction
- Totally operational even in the most severe storms
- Highly reliable and highly performing
- Slow rotation speed of rotor offers improved safety
- Low vibrations
- Quiet
- Compact and aesthetic structure
- Easily integrated in all kind of grounds/location
- Can be installed directly on a building, without use of a pilon
- Maintenance is relatively simple

When American Citizens with dual citizenship pledges allegiance
to the flag, to which flag do they pledge allegiance too?

-

 

Its a pledge not a prayer. you wouldn't understand if we tried to
explain it.

"I have dual British/Canadian citizenship"

 Talk about inability to commit!

Canadian citizenship) consider myself to be sorta part Canadian.  We Detroiters
watched Canadian TV interchangeably with US TV, listened to Canadian rock & roll
radio stations interchangeably with the US variety, drank Canada Dry sodas, ate
Canadian bacon, and thought nothing of using Canadian currency.   We often
crossed over to the Canadian side of the border because (frankly) Windsor was  a
nicer place than Detroit.

   So what does that make me?

I do understand it, but you guys take the whole flag thing to heights I
don't want to even think about.


LOL.  I worked in Midland, MI, for three years, and of the couple of dozen
people I was working with (other than the other Canadians) only two of them
had actually _been_ to Canada, and only one had done it often.  Most
Americans, even in border states, don't have a clue about Canada.

Out of touch :-)  The Canadian dollar hasn't been accepted in the US for
about 30 years - since we let it dip below US$1.  Windsor still has a
slightly lower violent crime rate than Detroit, but vastly higher than the
rest of Canada.

As for inability to commit, the US has plenty of dual citizens two.  I'm
also dual British/Canadian, but I am firmly committed to Canada.

Interesting -- plenty of places here in Maine accept Canadian currency, at
an appropriate exchange rate.
