Because only in a science fiction universe are they economically viable!

Not really the place for a discussion on the pros and cons of green energy
Let's keep this civilized and hobby-centred, shall we? |

Regardless of the real-world issues, I found that comment funny. Cheers, John! |

To be fair, though, John isn't a very big fan of any post-Napoleonic technology. Windmills – oui! Wind turbines – non! These wind turbines are already on my to-buy list for 6mm sci-fi games, to join my old Heljan nuke power plant. (Intended for HO, but easily rendered scale-neutral by covering up doors and windows.)

Picked up half a dozen packs of these from Hobby Lobby on sale for $6.00 USD each. They are just about perfect for any kind of Mars or colony style setup. I would suggest basing the windmills on a steel washer though. They are not the most stable model, and a bit of weight at the bottom really helps with that. |

Adding the lego mini fig for scale comparison is priceless! |

I had seen these last year at AC Moore and when I went back to get them they were all gone. I think they would be useful |

I guess I need to hit Hobbytown, see if they have any in stock. |

Oooh, I need a Nuke Power Plant! |
