What can be done to improve the uptake of wind power energy?
any ideas?
cheers.
Wind turbines vary wildly in performance depending on where they are put. Locations that are exposed and with large open spaces are well suited for wind power and can generate a huge amount of electricity. A small home wind turbine can produce as much as $3500 worth of electricy in a year, but only if these wind conditions are met.
Wind turbines make very good economic sense IF they are located in a good area, but the trouble is that those who could take advantage of their wind resource are unaware they are sitting on a goldmine.
Too many people put up turbines in poorly suited areas and are disappointed. As a result, wind turbines are a misunderstood form of green energy.
Greater research and awareness needs to be brought about amoungst the general population.
Raise oil prices so it’d be cheaper to build wind mills than to burn fossil fuels.

Put your fan up against the top of a sweeping wall or roof to capture more of the winds.

Make the wind energy technology cheaper and make it easy for people to install their own windmill. I think if companies like Pacific Crest Transformers can get support, their energy efficient transformers will be more widespread and the US will be moving towards being green

If you relate to wind farms than the answer is political (governments backup), finding and approving real estate suitable for wind farms and financing
If you relate to family size small wind turbines, it is awareness of homeowners, government policy and financing

your own wind power or general?
if you have yours, may be you should study the wind location, where most in your home actually windier, den put your turbine there..
then if you are talking generally, manufacturers should plan the place to locate their windmills for the outmost wind can be generated..
