Available now. Probably dont need planning permission unless you live in a listed building.

'There's also this, from British Gas.' "British Wind plc We move air, just for you....." With a nice little jingle or something.....

You could paint it brown and stick some leaves on it. Works for phone masts. Anyway, it'll cost you about £1500 for a domestic wind turbine.

Getting planning permission to erect a domestic wind turbine in rural Ireland is a bloody joke. This too shall pass however.

So they'll happily let you put up a satelite dish for the crap telly, but its a sharp intake of breath as far as a domestic turbinette is concerned? £1500? Hmmm ... wonder how quickliy that would pay for itself. Several years, I should think. Should be given government grants for that really.
