Forget your crossbreed car: These days, individuals can take a trip utilizing the wind alone. It's what moves land yachts that slide over snow and ice or roll on wheels over land-- powered by rotors harvesting power from the wind upwind.
It's a technique that integrates love, fond memories and sustainability. However can it work?
3. The Romance of the Land
