Can you provide us a link please? I would like to get some more information. If we can build one for this price, there is no reason that everybody couldn't have one.

In my town we have a pretty huge wind farm been operational for about 2 years now. Funny my electric bill is still raising.

So I would summarize then that its not built to have economic relief but more for carbon emission relief.

There is also plans in the works for a huge solar farm. Great announcement but it only benefits our environment not our pockets.

It's unwise to squeeze the wind power of the nature planlessly.If every body put a windmill in their backyards as you said,i'm affraid our nature would be changed greatly because the nature lose lots of its energy.Perhaps there is not enough energy carry some wet air from one place to another,and a drought would happen.

If $40,000 is about how much a windmill costs, then for it to pay off in the 6 to 8 years stated, your normal electric bill must be astronomical. $417 is how much a month it would be and that’s twice as much as we normally pay a month. Using our own average on the high side would take at least 16 years to begin to start paying for itself. That is something we could not possibly do and STILL pay a utility company for the “calm wind” times. And I’m afraid, that because of our location, that $40,000 would be very low to what actual shipping and installation would be. This isn’t a satellite antenna dish.

And now I understand from research that there is no viable way of “storing” the very few times there is an excess. Is this true? And those few that use batteries are actually causing as much or more pollution than they prevent. That’s no good.

Do I have to move to an elevated location, and how do I know if my area has enough wind to even power a windmill?

No one ever talks about these problems.

What do you think Cities do? Every building effects the wind pattern. Every tree. Every hill and valley both artificial and natural. Just imagine being able to harness the energy caused by the wind tunnel effect by our skyscrapers in downtowns all across the planet...
