Family Wind Turbines Gain Momentum

Part of a growing trend, a Danish family of seven has installed its own wind turbine to produce all the electricity the family needs while reducing its carbon footprint.

I don't know how applicable it would be for sky scrapers is what I meant. I mean, of course it'd help. I'm not sure the Sears Tower could tack on enough wind turbines to power the whole building. However, if every building WOULD just put some turbines on the roof, I'd think it'd make a significant difference. Why the hell aren't we doing this?

As an English speaker, your sentence looks like it was put together by a group of handicapped chimps. Shaky grammar, random punctuation and an over-developed sense of self-importance.

YOU ARE ONLY ONE OF A FEW PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT IS ACTUALLY THINKING

Is this privately invested or government subsisized?

American government is wasting huge amounts of money on special projects.

There are no investors because it makes no money....yet.

I'm all for individuals spending their own money, so long as they got plenty of space to install the things.

This is nice. Many countries are now aware of the effectiveness of wind turbines in generating electricity by means of wind energy. They have discovered that there are things that are usable but is just for free. With wind turbines, you generate your own electricity without a billed charge for that. Risk-free. With this reason alone, many are not afraid to try wind turbines as their source of power supply or to be a substitute for a generator. This can help you save money a lot.

@wetweasel56 So you can make the wind blow all the time and constantly supply your windmill with the raw energy to supply the worlds demands? Wow you must be an influential being and I should be so honored with your rebuke. Silly Wet Weasel you really think you make a difference? Well be happy in your simple mindedness. By the way since oil is from the earth and the earth is holy, doesn't that make oil holy? Watch your logic here or you can be fooled.

@Neuroplasticity2...you failed to bring your impression I have of your ignorance up one degree.

Wind turbine generators ARE the future and we MUST put them to use NOW.

That should make you want to get one if you had a normal mind.

@wetweasel56 Actually I just found your message so forgive me for not living on youtube. I made my comment with a certain sarcasm that is often used in humorous remarks. The thing I find interesting is that though my opinion of the content of the video was different from yours, I simply stated what it made me want to do. From this you assume I want my destruction. No I want to drill for oil here, now, and stop relying on foreign input. We will just have to disagree on the environmental stuff

We are doing this all over the US. Our leaders are exploiting out tax dollars to make wind power upgrades for profitable utilities. Then, 7% is wasted across the grid. Now, they want to waste more money upgrading the wasteful grid. Harvest your own wind and sun. You don't need a power company to sell you your own wind and sun. You don't really need a power company anymore.

7% of all electricity generated is lost in transmission across the grid. Home wind turbines don't. Doing this now.
