The Wind & Solar Tower™
The World’s Only Hybrid Generating System Powered by Both Wind and Sun.
Each Wind & Solar Tower™ generates enough renewable energy to produce 234,154 kWh per year which provides over 810,000 miles of emission-free driving.
The Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum Danger
It is expected the U.S. will have 25 million EVs by 2030
The nation’s push for 25 million EVs will require roughly a ten-fold increase in the nation’s EV infrastructure and will require a $7.5 billion investment. (Learn more.)
EVs will double demand for electricity by 2040
In an interview in Germany’s Bild am Sonntag, Elon Musk said that sourcing the energy necessary to power EVs would become the biggest obstacle. (Learn more.)
60% of the U.S. grid is powered by Fossil Fuels
The U.S. grid is 60% fueled by Fossil Fuels (coal and natural gas), 19.7% Nuclear, and only 19.8% Renewables (Wind 8.4%, Hydro 7.3%, Solar 2.3%, Biomass 1.4%). (Learn more.)
500,000 EV charging cords by 2030
500,000 sounds good. But chargers require access to the grid and many of the locations that could use them are remote and have no access to the grid. Will the green cars charge on diesel generators? (Learn more.)
We’ve only scratched the surface.
Learn more and how you can invest in the future of renewable energy.

Meet the Wind and Solar Tower, an EV charging solution that could change the world
By Craig Cole, evpulse.com
The aptly named and cleverly designed Wind and Solar Tower combines the benefits of wind turbines with those of solar panels to create one relatively compact system that puts out big power.

‘Below Grid Parity™’ — what it means and why it’s important
The Wind & Solar Tower™ uses the slogan “Below Grid Parity™” to emphasize that being “green” no longer carries a cost penalty over being “dirty.” WSTs can produce substantial amounts of electricity with no fuel cost, bringing the expense of making power down to the point where WST power is below parity with costs of conventional generation.

The Wind and Solar Towers™ Deliver Far More Than Clean Power for EVs
The Wind & Solar Tower™, the world’s only electricity-generating charger powered by a combination of wind and sun, is far more than an efficient and novel way to charge electric vehicles quickly. In remote locations, it can bring reliable, clean electric power to rural, off-grid villages – not only providing electricity where needed – but also saving lives.
