British scientists have announced plans to install hundreds of ‘solar wind’-powered turbines in geo-stationary orbits, spread over acres and acres of space. The solar energy harnessed by the upper-atmosphere wind farm will be redirected to a processing plant in the Orkney Islands for bottling-up like locally-popular cooking fuel, Calor Gas. ‘This new ‘Solar Gas’ should be quite a green fuel,’ said one of the scientists, ‘especially if we can get enough Aurora Borealis in the mix.’
The idea for the solar wind-powered turbines came after news that a depressed man in Norway had fitted solar panels to the windmills of his mind. ‘Unfortunately, the operation hasn’t helped his sense of sadness,’ said the report, ‘but at least his fuel bills are a lot lower now.’
