    Also an interesting article in the 'Cash' section of today's Observer, discussing potential money-saving pitfalls of home turbines. Apparently B&Q are going to be selling them soon.

    That article should be read again and again if you intend to fit one of these to save money. Quote:
    But renewable energy experts, including government-funded agencies, fear that roof-mounted turbines could be another double-glazing overselling debacle in the making. They are concerned that the unregulated technology has not been adequately tested and that devices claimed by some manufacturers to produce up to a third of the average family's electricity needs could produce a fraction of that. Some also fear the turbines could cause structural damage.
