"A study of domestic turbines was published by renewable energy consultants Encraft in December. According to the study, only one of the 15 household wind turbines generated enough to power a 75W light bulb. The average daily output was 393.3W: an average of 17W per hour. In all, only three of the turbines generated over 400W of electricity, with one generating 1,790W per day."
Andrew Orlowski also says "Domestic "microwind" turbines, recently championed as "power from the people" by opposition leader David Cameron, are about as useful as a chocolate teapot."
Do you agree with this?
