12. No, this turbine wouldn't even come close to meeting a home's electricity needs.

This would produce about $10 to $15 worth of energy per month, according to their specs. 1580 KWh per year = 131 KWh per month. Average home demand is 920 KWh per month. You'd need 7 of these turbines to break even on an average energy bill.
This is a nice idea, but the fact is that the turbine's output is low for the price. There's models on eBay with substantally more output for the same cost.
