I do not
recommend WIND turbines for anyone that does not live in a grueling
WIND zone.
Take the Wind Zone test -
Does the unrelenting wind actually become an aggravating
problem to you in the area you live in?
Do you regularly complain about the wind to persons within
your household?
Do you regularly lose objects in your yard from wind?
Spa covers, Patio umbrellas, etc, etc?
If said YES to at least ONE of these questions you are
in a Wind Turbine worthy zone! - (IF not, go Solar)
MY WIND ZONE -
For instance, I have to exercise caution when cooking
on my outdoor grill, making sure that the meat does not blow
off the grill when flipping it.
And you can just forget about browning hamburger buns!
They probably go tropospheric after they fly away and end up
in Area-51 weeks later.
NOW THAT is a wind zone!!! Places like this are where
wind turbines can really make a difference.
My biggest problem, dumping all the excess power when
the wind goes over 45 MPH.
NOW if you are lucky enough to be in a really good wind
zone then forget about solar and go for WIND power only!
BUT, if you only have light continuous breezy winds or
an occasional wind storm then wind power is probably not for
you.
Exceptions to this advice would be utilizing any winds
to maintain or change a battery bank that is only used for emergency or weekend use.
