actually, an emergency generator is more economical. a wind turbine big enough for my house costs 40k, that’s a LOT of time for payback. a generator big enough runs about four grand.
I was thinking about a small wind turbine and some deep cycle batteries as a source of emergency power for small essential items only.We have a PTO driven generator big enough to power the whole house,but in a prolonged emergency I worry about running out of fuel.
