Of all the silly spreading awareness things the Warmists come up with, this one is rather amusing
(PV Magazine) A team of London-based artists have come up with a unique renewable energy generator and storage concept for this year’s Land Art Generator Initiative Design Competition in Copenhagen: a giant energy duck that covered in solar panels and equipped with hydraulic turbines capable of producing electricity 24 hours a day.
Designed by Hareth Pochee, Adam Khan, Louis Leger and Patrick Fryer, the public artwork proposal would also serve as an interactive and educational tourist destination while also celebrating local wildlife.
According to the artists’ submission, the Energy Duck is modeled on the eider duck, which is found in the waters of Copenhagen. The fact that the eider duck’s breeding habitat has been at increasing risk from the effects of climate change inspired the team to use its form to raise awareness of the local impacts of the global environmental threat.
Said “duck” is designed to float in Copenhagen’s harbor, and will be 12 stories tall. It’s actually pretty ingenious. A nice energy alternative. Why did they have to ruin it by injecting Hotcoldwetdry?
While the initiative does not guarantee that the winning projects will be realized, it seeks to promote and support the transition to alternative energy by stimulating and challenging public opinion about what clean energy can look like.
In other words, this is pretty much a spreading awareness contest. Nothing more. Shame. Energy Duck would be kinda cool.
NIMBY
Would spoil the view of the mermaid.
Make those polder loving Dutch build it
I like it too- but exactly how would it be tethered/secured and whose view would ut truly spoil? You know there WILL be Nimby’s (some of whom belive in agw, like the deceased Ted Kennedy) who won’t want this ruining their POV
