This is the latest painting in the Green City Collection. The idea behind this was a combination wind and solar farm that would provide double the power generation of just a wind farm or a solar farm on it's own. The tube balloons funnel the wind that somehow gets converted to electricity. At the same time the top of the balloons have a coating of thin and lightweight solar panels that generate maximum energy since they are above the cloud cover and get sunshine all day long. At the bottom of the cable would be a small relay station that pushes the generated electricity to the grid or stores it in a large battery.
