Honda makes one for home use and it's very popular in Japan, where many people in those smaller japanese homes are able to sell power back to the grid. The interface with the grid isn't compatible in the US, but once there's a small turbine we can own and operate, we'd individually and collectively be a threat to the energy cliques and cabals.<br /> <br /> Won't that be fun? Big wind farms may warrant a quick look (but it seems SO fishy that the oil president’s war department – or was it the Heimat Waffe? – is getting in the way.

Haven't there been windmills for ages? I know there is a huge abandoned field of them on the southern tip of the Big Island in Hawaii. There are also quite a few in the mountains outside of San Diego. Anyone with a map of currently installed windmills? Just seems odd that this is now an issue. Haven’t there been windmills for ages?
