A Wind Farm in Red Hook?

Well this is good: a single test windmill in Red Hook is nearing completion, and if it proves viable, we could see more ancient element-harnessing technology sprouting up on Brooklyn's blustery peninsula. The wind turbine, built atop a 90-foot water tower, should generate around 4,500 kilowatt hours a year (enough for a single home), which at a $12,500 one-time investment, is pretty good. The project, part of a city pilot program, has generated some pretty intense feelings, at least in the Brooklyn Paper comment section (hilarity after the jump).

Behold the power of wind:
