Seems like a lot of potential, remote isolated places often have wind. Experiencing some icy down valley currents and knowing it doesn't take that much heat inside insulation to make a big difference or that much energy to warm. Those currents tend to be twice a day similar to on shore off shore currents with potential day and night, certainly makes one think.

Effectively managing the energy generated wind/ solar/ generated is what makes the difference...making it practical. Here is an interesting company: https://protonex.com/applications/

I recently noticed a small unit shelter NATICK came up with, alternative energy is part of the solution: https://www.armytimes.com/articles/a...rs-on-the-move

One could plug in different solutions....there was a small water turbine that got some press recently as well.
