Domestic wind turbines have been described as “the new handbags” - the latest luxury items craved by those who want to be first to try new technology.But this description overlooks their green credentials, because any electricity powered by the elements is reducing CO2 emissions, which are blamed for global warming.
And there are also the financial motivations.
A household with a windmill can save money on bills and sell excess electricity back to the national grid. So could wind turbines become a nice little earner?

Not in the US yet (or at least not as in that picture from the BBC). I wanted to get one for my home and it isn’t really possible without 1.5 acres of property due to installation mandates from the government.
