Both require large areas of land.

Recent development is a single tower 'wind power' that can be put up in your back yard. Generates electricity from movement of a single upright 'vane'.

To augment the supply for one house, fine. How many to power a city, or even a decent size factory?
Even though there is a lot of energy in the wind it's spread over a vast volume and only a small portion of it can be harvested by each windmill.
And of course availability is intermittent.
