The village I live in has I think around 300ish houses.
If every household clubbed together they could build a wind turbine that would power every home in the village - I think looking online it would cost about £1 -2 million or between 3 and 6 grand per house.
At current energy prices, this would pay for itself in about a year, and there would probably be a surplus to sell back to the grid.
Assuming the numbers I've plucked from online are anything like correct.
I wonder if we will start to see communities clubbing together and doing this.
Not everyone can afford 3-6 grand up front, but you could finance the turbine and pay it back from the energy bills perhaps.
The government should offer interest free loans for communities who want to do this
I can't work out if this poster is a parody account or not, but if it is, it's bloody brilliant!
I was talking about 1 big turbine in the village, which could power all the homes, not a turbine in every garden
The increase in energy prices could easily be reduced if the government put in place the powers it has available, however by not doing that is making people like me and you look into different avenues in respect of energy usage.
I see solar panel usage has increased to records levels and the cost of installation has come down considerably to the average household.
