Wind Turbine Campaign

Right, That`s cleared that up. What are the "fos and agins" re solar and photo-voltaic cells.
I can`t get wind turbine far enough away from my house so this is my next line of inquiry.

Doubtless you will have done your sums.
Do you get the Feed In Tariff South of the Border?

Yes Dave, we get probably too much wind here. Often 50/60 mph for days with gusts to 90mph and above. Not suitable for most small wind-turbines. Then of course we can go days without any wind at all!
So hydro- power seemed the best bet. But at a cost of 50k for an entry level set-up, ( and neither of us are young-uns'), the recouping of capital expenditure would take more years than we have left for sure.
