It was a year or two back when I first heard of these domestic turbines. It will probably take you 5-10 years to recoup the cost but it does mean you'd be on the way to self-sufficinecy. I would certainly conider having on in any house I owned. IT may be a good idea ofr the government to support this as part of reducing greenhouse gases:
"two strong reasons for government to support for small wind power machines: the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from households - currently 28% of all carbon dioxide - and security of supply. If enough people had a turbine on their house there would be no need for new power stations or reliance on imported gas."

I recently bought 'Windpower Workshop' about building your own wind turbine:

I've yet to build one, but it seems to be a very in depth book - so I'm really looking forward to giving it a go!
