Response to #7

This article was really specific. It was for the people of Cape May and all the the rules they had to follow when they installed wind turbines on their property. I'm not sure if it's like this everywhere, but there were a lot of regulations. Other than the expense, maybe these standards are part of the reason people don't jump at the option of an alternative way to power their homes. If a company could invent a wind turbine that was cohesive to suburban life and less expensive, that would be perfect.
