Installing a wind turbine at home
B&Q are now selling turbine blades at their stores. So do we rush out and buy one expecting to save money? Where would we install it? Can we attach it to the chimney stack that has been there for 100 years? Lets imagine that we have bought a nice shinny new wind turbine and manage to get it all in the car or had it delivered because we just got rid of that petrol guzzling people carrier that was so useful for transporting stuff around. So what do we do now?
Good question and it something I have been planning to write about for a while. In the meantime The Guardian has put together a useful piece entitled Blowing in the wind on this subject. The article also provides some useful links.
