Its true, storms are when our normal wind turbines fail us, or we stop using them while we shield them somehow from the worst of it. I thought about this recently also, and I came to the conclusion that a single wind-wing pivoting on the top of a pole could be made to pump a generator inside the pole. It would only pump up and down, but it would seem to be able to weather hurricane force winds and still remain functional. What do you think?
