Quote of the year

"So we have a choice to make... We can remain one of the world's leading importers of foreign oil, or we can make the investments that would allow us to become the world's leading exporter of renewable energy... We can let the jobs of tomorrow be created abroad, or we can create those jobs right here in America and lay the foundation for lasting prosperity..."

We believe this applies equally to South Africa and have started the process by securing the local manufacturing rights for just such a technology from International companies.

So, we have a choice to make.... We can remain a major importer of foreign oil and one of the world's worst emitters of greenhouse gasses, or we can make the investments that would allow us to become one of the world's leading exporters of renewable energy and associated technology. We can let the jobs of tomorrow be created abroad or we can create those jobs here in South Africa and lay a solid foundation for lasting prosperity for all.

The first patents were granted for Verticlal Axis Wind Turbines or VAWT systems in 1927 in Europe
