“Our goal is to eliminate energy poverty, reduce dependence on struggling state power grids, and create energy self-sufficiency for all the needy ones through distributed, localized, and affordable renewable energy,” Avant Garde Innovations states on its website. “In doing so, we believe we can collectively usher in our world a cleaner environment, new economic prosperity, and social change.”

The company says its turbine, which was to launch this year, will be “suitable for residential, commercial, agricultural, village electrification, and other uses.”  (h/t to The Energy Mix subscriber Diane Beckett for pointing us to this story)
