Video from Fortis in the Netherlands. They have something like 6,000 turbines installed round the world; and we have put a fiar number up in the uk. A Montana will produce enough for most people's homes. It automatically sells any spare electricity to the grid. For more information see www.the-green-company.com

  • That second turbine shown at 5:30 is noisy as hell.

    How much is a 5KW model?

  • the noisier turbine is an old model. new ones are much quieter as they have better designed blades. They are so quiet that horses don't even notice them when they go past.

  • Make one yoruself that size and the law will make you take it down!

    They are not interested in the public reducing their carbon footprint. That is just PR campaign and to get you to buy more products.

  • The British Government is a due to change planning laws to let you put a turbine up on your own land without planning permission.

  • nice video production on this, cool.

  • I dont believe it is hard to make a windmill, its just a lot of work, like anything else.

    take a look at the expense of the materials.

    such as the batteries and the generator to produce the power.

  • Hello, does that include the rooftop wind turbines in France? Since 7% of the energy is lost in transmission, it seems like the best future is in home wind turbines to me. Nice video.

  • €16500 at $1.35 per € = $22275 (only if the $ stays weak) take off your state and national rebates and then find out what you gridtie price is from your electricity company... paybacks are longer than solar cells, but work 24/7. In big wind areas some have been generating 50KWh per day, so this power is used to feed your house and to turn the meter backwards.... get your power in Germany today and you pay $0.336/KWH and see how much you save with a turbine

  • Jesus Christ. That is almost $40,000.00 U.S.

    I pay 7.5 cents per KWH.

    You do the math.

  • Oil Companies supply oil which is not used to generate electricty.

    The oil companies have enough capital to buy or even start several wind farms many times over if they desire to profit from it.

  • here in France there is NO planning formalities for any turbine wit less than a 12m /40ft tower

  • In the EC, I supply the complete package for 16500 euros with mast, the Montana can do 8500KWH or more per year... the noisy one is an old Passaat, the new ones are less noisy

  • libbers they bitch and moan about CO2 emissions and global warming and when there is a solution at hand its not good enough NIMBY syndrome
