Wind
turbines catch on 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.
