Well, I was quite keen on getting some sort of renewable energy thingy installed in/on my house. However, my pitched roof faces roughly East-West which doesn’t make it very suitable for solar devices. So I had a quick look round for potential wind turbines and initially got quite excited. Sound like a great idea.
Unfortunately, it’s just not nearly cost effective at the moment. Normally, this might not have put me off – after all, what’s the point in attempting to be a first adopter if you’re not willing to take the plunge and pay now so you and others can save later when stuff gets popular and cheaper?
However, given that I’m planning on moving house at some point in the next couple of years, spending £1500 – £2500 on installing a wind turbine didn’t sound like a clever idea 
In addition, my house is what you’d call a classic first-time-buyers place, and it’s not clear what effect having a wind turbine installed would have on the sale-ability of the place.
