Re: Wind Power
I think wind velocities generally increase with altitude, but I'm no aviator. I'm not sure altitude on these wind farms would help because the air is thinner and consequently has less momentum to exploit, probably in proportion of some kind to the increase in wind velocity (aka it moves faster and faster cause there is less and less of it). Alas, less money will be harvested from more initial work and the noise-reducing solution will most likely be avoided.
