While politicians are busy arguing over the exact degree to which humans have impacted climate change, innovative designers are diving into clever new energy technologies and green designs.

The Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) competition, sponsored by the United Arab Emirates’ “clean technology zone” Masdar City, generated one theoretical wind power generation design that draws its inspiration and its visual appeal directly from field of grass.

Windstalks won the 2nd place Honorable Mention in LAGI’s 2010 competition.
