Seriously I was joking, hence the tongue, it's your design, your idea, you don't want to post it then that's your prerogative, and none of my business I was just poking fun...
Though saying "its powered by ..." isn't the same as making your design public domain 
.
You may want to patent it, or if you can't afford that use a poor mans patent, which stops anyone else patenting it, so makes stealing it pointless.
The problem over here with renewable sources is that some people don't want them. Like some locals who live in a windy part of Cornwall fighting to stop a wind farm being built because they're noisy and an eye-sore. Far as I can see they have a choice, wind farm, coal fired power station or no electricity. Half the problem is everyone wants the trappings of modern society (well at least 99.99%) but many think creating them is someone else’s problem.
We can benefit, but someone else has to do all the suffering for it...
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
You should never give powers to a leader you like that you’d hate to have given to a leader you fear

I they are lying to you. We have one here, and it makes no noise. The windmills here were designed by Burt Rutan, the spaceship guy, but if someone wants ones that look different, they can design them differently.
But nonetheless, we have our own grass roots citizens group trying to stop it. These people are led by a normal upstate rural hick, who just happens to have gotten several million dollars in stock options from an oil company. I suspect an investigation into your local Cornwal citizens would reveal something similar.
Myself, I would be perectly happy to make a drastic reduction in power consumption.

That's my thought exactly, I've been near these sorts of windfarms, they were near silent. When you're right underneath them they make some noise, but nothing uncomfortable and at any distance they're fine.
It's possible theres some deals going on behind the scenes, I think the whole "we don't mind the advantages, as long as the disadvantages are someone elses problem..." stance has a big thing to do with it.

I used to live near the Trent valley, basiclly a long line of coal fired power stations placed there to take advantage of the South Yorkshire coalfield. Beyond that were villages and towns with dozens of coal mines complete with winding gear, chimneys and spoil heeps. Those folks in Cornwall had a nice place to live (with electricity) because the resources needed to produce the energy just happened to be somewhere else, now it's were they live.
If you look at traditional corn windmills they come in a number of designs some of which are prettier than others I'm sure if they wanted they could find a design everyone would like.
