Hi! I am being killed by my power bills and I need to find alternatives. I live in northern Maryland, so solar might not be an option for me, or so I have been told (too cloudy). So, in looking for other options, wind power looks like an option. I live on top of a hill and get a crazy amount of wind year round. Is there any kind of a low profile wind driven device I could look into? I live in a neighborhood, so I am sure my neighbors would object to a massive windmill. I have seen something that looks like an upside down bucket with slats cut in it. Don’t know what it is called… Any thoughts?
Wind power for my home? Compact?
