The article is doing a bait and switch job. It starts out discussing magnetic bearings (which are not new technology) and postulates a wind turbine of a completely different blade design as being some fantastic breakthrough. But the giant super wind turbine hasn't been designed, let alone built. And the Chinese factory is going to make small wind turbines that will generate about enough power to run a couple hair dryers. Not 750,000 houses. At least not 750,000 American houses with 2.5 hair dryers each.
