Smallish fans have begun to pop up on many New York City buildings. Although their appearance is closer to a personal fan, these fans produce electricity just like the more noted tall white turbines. With energy prices getting higher, many residents see these fans as a great solution to keep their electricity costs lower, especially since they often bypass the electrical companies.
With demand growing the Blue Sea Development Company is in the process of building a five-story brick apartment building in the Melrose section of South Bronx that will be powered in part by 10 1-kilowatt turbines.
