Wind Turbine Tribute to Michael Jackson
Monday, October 5th, 2009The larger-than-life Michael Jackson will always be remembered as a glitzy, eccentric, peculiar recluse with incredible talent and unshakable energy. He will be remembered by his innovative dance moves, his pop music, one-gloved hand and his ever-changing facial features. So what if his best friend was a chimpanzee and he lived at a fantasy estate called Neverland – we loved him and we’ll never forget him.
The moonwalker icon that crossed all music genres and touched so many hearts deserves a special monument so that he may live on. So, an international competition was formed by Bustler.net, called “LIVE FOREVER: The Michael Jackson Monument Design Competition,” in which they challenged artists, architects and designers to create a monument for MJ. There were no limits or rules. Monuments could be any scale or location, from the ocean to the moon or beyond.
The contest received over 200 entries, all vying for one of the three prizes: BADDEST (1st prize), BADDER (2nd prize), and OFF THE WALL (3rd prize).
Though the 1st place winning design was interesting, we felt that the 2nd place design had more meaning and promoted energy awareness.

When you move beyond how alluring these PV flat panels are and get down to the technical bones, they’re just as amazing as their dazzling colors. Designed to cost less, run at higher efficiency and produce power without full concentration of the sun, these gems will make it possible for people living in filtered sun areas to finally jump on board the solar bandwagon. Because it uses diffused light instead of direct sunlight, the system supplies more power and isn’t confined to rooftop installation.
