Wow, check out this proposition by One Architecture, Ton Matton and NL Architects for the next generation windmill. Commissioned by the Dutch government, the proposed mill mimics a tree in design, can be nearly 400 ft (120 meters) high and can hold up to 8 turbines. The idea behind the design is that a tree-shaped mill is less intrusive in the flat Dutch landscape than the windmill farms they use now. What a great idea; more mills, more power, less intrusion, less mess. We love it when cool designs solve problems, and hope we're looking at the future of wind power.
