Barometric Pressure Power

Deriving Power from Atmospheric Pressure Differences over Geographically-Spaced Sites
Barometric Pressure Power
"A company called Cold Energy, claim they can tap into the energy consistently present in atmospheric pressure differences over long distances or elevation differences. The pressure differences creates a great deal of wind energy that can theoretically be challenged through a pipe to produce electrical energy, as air naturally rushes to the lower pressure end of the pipe. We witness this effect occurring every time a low pressure weather system passes over our area and wind rushes into the low pressure system, creating the wind that is a typical component of a storm. This is a novel, yet unproven, approach to tapping into a clean renewable energy source with tremendous energy potential.
"Anyone who has seen a weather report has seen maps with high pressure systems on one part of the map; and low pressure systems on another part of the map. Between these pressure systems, there are isobars - those wavy white lines that lie across the space between these pressure zones, indicating equal amounts of pressure, which create a pressure gradient (hill) that allows wind to flow naturally from high pressure to low pressure."
-The proposal is to run a pipe between the high to low pressure areas, you could tap into a tremendous amount of energy as the air rushes from the high pressure area to the low pressure area, and spin electric generating turbine from the flow of air between the two locations.
