Celebrity Demand For Personal Wind Turbines
Personal wind farms are fast becoming a status symbol in Hollywood, Washington and places in between. Former President George H.W. Bush has one. Jay Leno does, too. So does Maryland Congressman Roscoe Bartlett all have their own personal wind turbines.
In fact while we complain about even being able to see wind farms in Australia, lots of Americans have them in their front gardens and on rooves of tall buildings. This would seriously upset our planner and the NIMBYs (not in my back yard)
They aren’t exactly an energy windfall because they are relatively small turbines but they are raising awareness of the problem, and it would end up impacting on the household energy use in many cases due t that awareness.
Wind power was the second-biggest source of electricity capacity added to the U.S. last year, trailing only natural gas, according to the American Wind Energy Association. Even with that gale-force growth, wind power accounts for only about 1% of all electricity generated in the country.
