What are the pros and cons of using wind power to power up our community?

Pros:
Cheaper electricity
Windturbines require little maintenance
Whoever owns the land where the windturbines are installed get a TAX BREAK
Windturbines don't spew out any pollutants

Cons:
Some people think windturbines are ugly
If you stand right under them, it's noisy (but far away you don't hear them)
Location has to be windy most of the time for them to work
They are very tall (I don't think it matters so much)

I think the pros overweigh the cons ANYWAY
I've seen windturbines from a distance and I think they look rather nice!

Wind power has been developing steadily over the past decade, and the sort of system you would want to install would depend on how much power you needed to generate.

If it is to be a community project, where the power will be shared by a number of households, obviously you will need a large turbine. But if it is more along the line of just a few homes needing to get some auxiliary power, you might consider a separate turbine for each home.

Individual wind machines in the order of 1,000 watts to 2,000 watts can make a huge difference in your monthly power bill. Now, you can either buy one from a good manufacturer, or you can make your own. It is not a small undertaking to build a 1KW wind generator. Quite a bit of work, but not very much money.
