Reply #18: I saw a "personal" wind turbine a couple of weeks ago

[texastoast]

It was just cranking away in the Gulf wind, making plenty of power for that home.

I would love to get one for my place (providing it is not too expensive, as I would have to raise it up about 40 extra feet to get over the treetops).

A friend about 20 miles west powers about 35% of his use with one, but it is in the open. And he put his together for $1800.
