    Dude, all you need to do is spend $13k for one of these,

    And then mount it 30 feet above the tallest tree or building near you.

    How hard can it be?

      I thought it would be nice to get a wind turbine since that could produce some useful electricity in months that contain the letter ‘r’.

      11k EUR

      2 kW

      Price of electricity is like 10 cents a kWh average throughout the year

      11000/2/0.1 = 55000 hours

      Will pay off if it produces 2 kW for 6 years straight. I don’t think I’m getting one.

        Even open flat farmland might not be good enough. They need to follow ridgelines for best success.

        Most of us aren’t on farms. But yeah, if you are I’d definitely look into it. Especially if you’re running large refrigerators and/or freezers.
