European Wind Power Meets European Humour

Posted by pfairley on October 25, 2007

Time for Carbon-Nation to take a walk on the wilder side. In all seriousness, I’m curious what you make of this ad for German wind farm and solar power developer Epuron. What does it say about the image of wind power? To my mind it speaks to a greater awareness of renewable energy in Europe, since its deadpan delivery would seem to assume that European audiences need no introduction to the technology.
