Ummmm. Look dude, if you're that concerned about the environment, I hope that you are riding a bicycle to the flying field.

I applaud your enthusiasm for designing/building, but am fairly doubtful you'll be making any more difference than if you took a teaspoon of salt out of the ocean. And to build a 2lb thrust turbine?

Wait, I just got it. This ur kidding. Haha. You got us. Good one!
