Well, Italian designers Francesco Colarossi, Giovanna Saracino and Luisa Saracino have finally done it. They've managed to solve two of the major issues that arise when the subject of wind energy comes up: aesthetics and space. Many people complain that large wind turbines are "ugly", a blight on a natural landscape. I doubt any would protest this novel approach that results in a beautiful, futuristic-looking energy source. The turbines also take up no more space than the viaduct itself would, shutting down any objections that would come about in regards to the land usage. The Italian team's creativity is exactly the sort of problem-solving the world needs when it comes to the energy crisis. It's your move, America.
