[at-l] Windmills on tall buildings

[rcli4 at comcast.net]

I tried putting that windmill in the back of my truck.  Didn't work worth a shit.  The Hybrid vehicle I believe has always been considered a "bridge" vehicle.  Testing in a real world environment.  Trying to transition into a commercially viable alternative.
