  1. To me, I think what is important is having a cheap way of installing renewables, whether that be solar or wind and low price for buying of that, for personal use. Consumers are much more likely to push this renewable revolution over governments if the cost of installing and the price point of buying is cheap enough to do, whereas governments keep dragging their feet with the fossil industry lobbying them to slow down the adoption, consumers don't have that issue because they will do what's in their interest to lower cost. This is why for me, having a low-cost installation could do wonders for the industry, at the moment, it's too expensive and complicated which puts a lot of us off, even thought the cost of solar isn't that expensive now and is getting cheaper, the installation cost and complexity is a mess for most, sort those problems out and the adoption rate would likely skyrocket and consumers are much harder for the fossil industry to lobby against. The icing on the cake will come about with improvements to battery tech so we can store weeks or even months of energy per household. As for this wind tech, even if it doesn't generate as much energy as they say, does it really matter if it can be done cheap enough for consumers to use? Mixing things up with solar and wind could be quite useful for many, especially as solar doesn't generate energy at night where wind can. Still, we need more information on this tech in real world use cases but it does look like the tech shows promise and could be made better to take advantage of wind from all directions.
