Wind turbines latest in urban chic
Mercury Cafe owner Marilyn Megenity, a self-styled energy activist, drives a biodiesel-fueled car, conserves electricity at her business and voluntarily buys wind power.
But by the end of this month, she expects to have something rarely seen in Denver: two power-generating windmills atop her popular downtown restaurant.
"I’m very concerned about our nation’s energy use, and I want to do something about it," Megenity said.
Not yet a trend, not even a fledgling movement, small-scale wind power in urban areas is beginning to grab the attention of a handful of committed energy-efficiency enthusiasts and environmentalists.
Last year, 8,400 small wind-powered structures were sold, compared with 4,700 in 2004, according to the American Wind Energy Association.
