Wind lens construction and installation, compared to constructing additional pylons windmills, is trivial, and while the extra toll on turbines could require more maintenance, it is again trivial compared to building more windmills. In short, wind lenses could make wind energy a possible alternative to traditional power sources instead of just a supplement like it is today.

Interesting for two reasons:
Directly, if wind power can be made equivalent to nukes, then why wouldn’t we do it. It’d be cheaper.
Indirectly, why is this significant work being done in Japan? Where are the scientists and engineers in the USA?
Argh!
