Without visible moving parts. It seems like it basically just funnels the wind int some form of turbine.

I don't hate it. The most common bad-faith rhetoric you hear from the Right is "It'll kill the birds" because you know dang well they dgaf, but they know we do. They put any roadblock they can to sustain dependence on their economic interests in oil. This gets us past a few more of those roadblocks, if it anywhere near matches the efficacy of open blade turbines.

Oh I don’t say I don’t like it, just that the headline was a bit exaggerated.
