Their idea is to capture the CO2 gas that would normally be
If you thought all you needed to do was keep an eye out for a van parked outside your house who might be sniffing your Wifi, you better think again.

Hacked Gadgets was at the recent All Energy Conference in Aberdeen Scotland. There was lots of wind generation companies demonstrating their systems and components but I thought that Windspot is going after an interesting market.
