Thank you for making that comparison.

There are severe economic issues with paying for a giant funnel using the wind it generates.

No one has discussed if you basically turn the funnels into cell tower antennas then you piggy back onto the existing cell phone ecosystem.

Or piggy back onto land mobile radio trunking system ecosystem, or legacy broadcast media ecosystem.

You're building a giant horn antenna. Why not make it conductive and collect some "free" cash?

Interestingly enough their pilot installation is right next door to a municipal water tower which is bristling with cell antennae.
