Wiki used to plan wind-turbine locations

March 22, 2007 | Source: KurzweilAI

A wiki is being used in the Netherlands to plan wind turbines. The wiki, extended with a Google Maps plugin, presents maps with proposed wind turbine locations. The goal is to decide on locations for 6000 3-MegaWatt turbines, enough to provide for all electricity in the Netherlands.

When a design has gained enough support, it can become a real wind energy project, and move on to official planning procedures.
