Wind power consumes no fuel, and doesn’t exhaust any resources. Since wind is a constant and continual force on Earth, electricity can be generated at virtually no cost to the environment. The average wind farm will “pay back” the energy used to manufacture the turbines in a span of only five months. Smaller, household turbines can pay-back the manufacturing energy cost in less than one month, with the potential to re-pay the initial financial cost within the first year.

With the right tools and equipment, it is even possible to build your own wind turbine, greatly reducing the start-up cost to only $250, allowing you to almost completely pay-back the initial investment within the first month. Generating your own home made energy will reduce your carbon footprint and save you money every year.
Although wind Turbines placed on a building will not replace the need for non-renewable electricity anytime soon, and they won’t take the place of coal power alone, they can greatly supplement your energy needs, especially when used in conjunction with other renewable energy sources. An efficient residential wind generator can produce 1,200 kilowatts of electricity every month, decreasing the average power bill by up to 80%.
