Urban Wind Turbine San Francisco

As reported in Earth2Tech, there has been a rare sighting of what has been labelled an urban wind turbine in San Francisco, California and the sighting has been captured on film. Check out this YouTube video of a Skystream 3.7 in action.

Today, I came across a much better video of this amazing home with the home's owner, Robin Wilson, providing a tour to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and CNET News.com's Kara Tsuboi. The clip says that the home gets 40 percent of its power from the wind, the other 60 percent from other renewable energy sources and was named one of the 12 greenest houses in the world by the Discovery Channel.
