It might sound crazy, but it’s all part of Mayor Bloomberg’s plan to green the Big Apple. Well, it could be according to his statement at the National Clean Energy Summit on Tuesday:
Perhaps companies will want to put wind turbines atop bridges and skyscrapers, or use the enormous potential of powerful off-shore winds miles out off the Atlantic Coast, where turbines could generate roughly twice the energy.
Bloomberg even mentioned the possibility of windmills atop the Empire State Building. “There’s a lot of logistical as well as esthetic considerations. Off-shore is much more likely,” Bloomberg said later. “If there is a large ape that starts climbing the Empire State Building, it might get in his way.”
A large ape? Really??? Let’s hope he was trying to be funny…
