Part of a growing trend, a Danish family of seven has installed its own wind turbine to produce all the electricity the family needs while reducing its carbon footprint.

Green energy is the …
Green energy is the best way to put your local blood sucking utility out of business. The cost of energy is astronomical because of big for-profit business. Sadly, green energy is actually illegal in most cities in N. America.

Ok….what’s with all the related videos showing failed wind turbines?
hmmmm….interesting.
Makes me want to …
Makes me want to take a 30 min hot shower and drive my SUV for an extra 100 miles b/c this nut thinks he is saving the planet. Makes my conscience feel good.

Even if that were …
Even if that were true, it would still deplete finite resources, and we need to jump to more lasting energy producing trends
As an English …
As an English speaker, your sentence looks like it was put together by a group of handicapped chimps. Shaky grammar, random punctuation and an over-developed sense of self-importance.
As a TV Producer, …
As a TV Producer, that was really poorly put together. Shaky camera work, uninspired copy for the voiceover talent, jumpy editing. And it really didn’t tell us any legitimate story – ‘a few thousand dollars?’. What does that mean?
The quote was “But …
The quote was “But materials ALONE start at a few thousand dollars US.” Hence the total cost would be higher, not just a “few thousand dollars.” And note that the commentator is NOT referring to the commercial wind turbines shown in a few shots, but rather the smaller, two-bladed residential wind turbine the subject is using.
This guy is an …
This guy is an idiot, CO2 is not pollution or harmful
yeah, I know that. …
yeah, I know that. I’m just saying our methods are outdated. Probably wasn’t the best example.
few thousand my …
few thousand my ass..not for huge towers like that
they dont mention …
they dont mention it in the video but the gaia wind turbines cost about £44000. at least that is what i saw when searching for it

@GuppyPal
Hate to break it to you, but steam is what’s used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant, just the same as coal. Only thing that’s the different is the process to generate the steam.
Is it just …
Is it just coincidence that they never mentioned how much this cost to set up?
yeah, it’s just …
yeah, it’s just because of lobbyists. We created an atomic bomb over 60 years ago, yet we’re still using steam to generate electricity. I guarentee we could have an energy revolution if we wanted and the government got behind it.
fyi, Chicago was …
fyi, Chicago was not named the windy city because of its wind conditions…actually for the “hot air” from the local politicians
I think it’s just …
I think it’s just because people/companies that provide electricity would die, and I think they are like, fighitng, trying not to make that possible.
It’s not good for them.
But, I wish I have one of those things in my house, and some solar panels.
I don’t know how …
I don’t know how applicable it would be for sky scrapers is what I meant. I mean, of course it’d help. I’m not sure the Sears Tower could tack on enough wind turbines to power the whole building. However, if every building WOULD just put some turbines on the roof, I’d think it’d make a significant difference. Why the aren’t we doing this?
No one lobbied for …
No one lobbied for it. GM pulled them because the price of oil dropped. They didn’t anticipate the Bush era price spike.
GM’s rank incompetence has caused it a lot of problems. They didn’t even build fuel efficient cars during the 1970′s energy crisis for crying out loud!
Don’t cook up conspiracy theories to “explain” rank incompetence by overpaid, brain dead executives.
Imagine if Chicago …
Imagine if Chicago set these up in the windier parts of the city.
When the wind dies …
When the wind dies down you draw power from the grid, or from batteries charged during the windy part of the day.
Some technologies in development perform electrolysis on water with excess energy, storing the hydrogen in tanks. When the wind dies down, the hydrogen is burned to generate electricity.
I remember when an …
I remember when an alien space craft knocked down a blade from a turbine in the UK. Roswell was a cover up. RIP TUPAC 1971-1996
Hopefully thousands …
Hopefully thousands and thousands of people do the same. the price will come down and inspire thousands more, the price will fall further inspiring thousands more and eventually they will be so cheap it would be dumb not to have one.
it’s possible to …
it’s possible to have small pinwheel type turbines
that are capable of generating similar power to large wind
turbines. you’ll have to do a search since i can’t remember
the title. it’s here on YouTube. the setup is powering a small school
