Wind Power
Equipping Home with Wind Generated Power How to Begin?
I am considering equipping a home in West Texas (11 acres of land, plenty of room) with wind powered generators in order to provide electricity to the property. Where does one begin? Can windmills generate enough power to run the home, how is the A/C tied into the home and the feed fro the power company? Any thoughts? Thanks.

This shoudl start you in the right place. I know the initial investment for a 10 kw turbine is around $15,000. When you generate more power than you need, the electric company will use it and pay you for it (not nearly as much, though, as you would pay for their electricity). Plan on purchasing batteries to store excess energy as well for times when it’s less windy or plan on still having an electric bill to some extent.
Oftentimes, people employ wind AND solar power systems to back each other up. Usually at least one is going to be generating electricity.
