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.
