According to the Telegraph in Britain, residential wind power isn't ready for prime time: It's no breeze making switch to wind power.

After waiting over a year for a site evaluation and consultation with the vendor, this British journalist decided against the planned purchase of a wind turbine. Concerns that led to the decision included noise, vibrations and lack of power during an electricity outage. In addressing these concerns, the vender was very up front. He said there are some wrinkles to be ironed out, but all three areas are being addressed. With the various products and approaches being used, it's only a matter of time before a more attractive solution is made available.
