    Here is one thread that talks about them in general:

    Missouri Wind and Solar Turbine, anyone try them?

    With any wind turbine setup... Do a lot of research before spending the money. In general, most people don't really have enough sustained wind to make wind worth while. And you should be installing the turbine on a 60 foot minimum tower (at least 30' above obstructions and 500' feet away from taller obstructions).

    The wind turbines themselves are usually less than 1/2 the cost of an installed system (tower, wiring, controllers, labor, etc.). The towers are not cheap, plus you may need a crane/lift truck for servicing every year or so.
