Windpower - Fad or Fashion

So a friend asked me some advice on putting a windmill on their roof to reduce their electric bill. I had always viewed this as a $5k-$10k venture with a 20 year payback.

But then I sat down and did some research on DIY windpower and I was really impressed. There are alot of people out there building 500 watt systems for under $2,000. If you willing to play a little loose with some regulations I've seen some systems even cheaper.

If there is enough interest in the topic I'm going to create an entire thread to this topic but this is something I need a few fellow authors for. Shoot me an email if you have some interest and would be willing to contribute at least once a month.
