There are specific areas of the country that it is recommended to -not- use wind power. Also, here in Alabama there are no state tax breaks for generating your own power, and you can't sell it back to the power company. Gotta love the south...

I'll of course post further information about the outcome. Here in Europe we even can sell the energy to the energy companies at a guaranteed high price.

However, this is something that's been in my plans for quite some time. Now seems like a great time to really implement alternative energy sources and reduce dependency on the local power company, which will also reduce the amount of fossil fuels my energy usage results in.

What about tax breaks? I found a website several months ago for NY and NJ, which showed some calculations proving that you could be cash flow positive after year one with all the little tax rebates. Has anyone actually done this? The idea of renewable energy sounds great. What about tax breaks?

However I have seen some lately that are more of a pole design, as opposed to blades like most current ones. I don't know the efficiency or cost on these however. I am intrigued by the idea of not being dependent on outside electricity. If there is a power failure I am still good to go at home, at least keep my Air Conditioner running!
