Capturing the wind without a turbine

Giant grasslike structures may be used to capture wind energy.  Alisa Danigelis reports in Discovery News about a quieter method of capturing wind energy.  It would be compatible in non ariable lands with good low to the ground wind profiles.  It would not work in crop land areas as there is very little space available on the ground.

A slide show of the pictures is available here.
