Wind turbines catching on in Britain
Around 80,000 homes are now using wind power in England where users are covering about one-third of their electrical costs by attaching wind turbines to their homes. Plus, government grants can help with turbine costs and installation. "Speaking to some of the producers, they are saying they are getting more enquiries now than they can cope with. They are having to increase production to meet demand, and this will bring prices down, which will in turn increase demand." One such producer, Futurenergy, offers turbines for about 695 pounds or $1200.00 and sells about 100 wind turbines per week.

You link to Future Energy is broken.

Their site looks very interesting. I don't understand why anybody doesn't want roof mounted windmills. What's wrong with every house having a small windmill above it to help generate some electricity. We don't need huge giant windfarms if every house is helping with a smaller windmill on the roof.
Strange the link that I added also added incorrectly. I wonder if there is a quirk in your blogging software
I think I fixed the link, thanks for pointing it out.
