We've been trying to find power sources for our Green Brownstone Renovation: Wind + Solar PV + Solar Thermal (hot water). See Wind Power for our Brownstone.
Ellen, our LEED-certified Architect had a follow-up conversation with Ken Morgan at Helix Wind, and learned that they are not suggesting installation of their innovative wind turbine on older homes (our is 100 years old) due to the possibility of resonant frequencies causing structural damage over time. Argh!
Also, Oregon Wind won't have their product ready until the new year.
That's two options down for us. Am hoping that the Jay Leno-approved PacWind Wind Turbine (pictured here) is a viable alternative. Onward!

Too bad... but at least you know that now. I hope the other one is a good option!
