Welcome back, dedicated reader! Thanks for visiting.
OK I know wind energy is becoming more and more popular, and that many states are starting to push for wind energy as well as solar energy. But, I didn’t think that LEGO would help in the renewable energy revolution so fast! Already LEGO has a city wind power set! I’m sure this might look like a simple toy to most people, and actually, that’s all it is. But, it serves a critical role in making the renewable energy promoters and installers of the future fired up about solar. Just like how the little LEGO fire truck sets help young kids get interested in that kind of work later in life, this set will make many little children wish to grow up to become wind installers and related personnel. Its amazing how much putting these kind of ideas in cool toys in front of children makes them take that path as a future career. Hopefully this kind of toy, despite how simple it is, will generate an even larger number of renewable energy minded children and young adults, and their views and ideas will keep shaping the future.
And come on, it’s a LEGO wind power set. How awesome is that! What kid wouldn’t want it?
