Wind Power

[riper1]

Does anybody here currently use wind power for there home or cabin, were in a great location for it, I think its a great idea but its probably very expensive, how much would start up be? how long for the payback? what kind of batterys are used and how many?

Individual wind power makes a lot more sense than these huge wind-farms. There's a company in Norman that makes smaller-size models.

Around $3 a watt if I remember. Solar is a bit cheaper. Around $2.50.

Id like to get a smaller windmill to pump water.
