  • $\begingroup$ That's a really cool idea. I think it's quite unlikely to survive a mathematical analysis of their energy balance (too low of an energy yield/mass to be viable i.m.o). But who cares? Wind-powered plants sound quite poetic to me and you could go crazy with designs optimized to maximize the motion, to create a beautiful never-ending ballet of trees lightly swinging in the summer breeze. Keep in mind tho, that your trees can not grow as close to each other as ours, as they will screen a lot of wind (it is a lot less windy in a forest than a plain) $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 14, 2023 at 6:28
