All,
Wandering around the local shed today I notice that they have started
doing wind turbines for £1500 inc. installation and VAT.

The bumf says the following:

1) The turbine generates (up to) 1kW
2) It will save me (up to) 30% of my electricity bill
3) Planning permission is (probably) not needed - it equates it with a
satellite dish.
4) The UK Government will (probably) stump up 30% of the cost.
5) It will pay for itself in (around) 7-12 years.

Any thoughts?

Z.

Yes. Take a look through the archives for this group and you will
discover that this subject was done to death about 2 weeks ago, with
the conclusion that you would be better off spending the £1500 on
Lottery tickets.

Alternatively you can send it to me via Paypal where I promise that it
will be put to better use than B&Q could make of it. Your return on
investment would be the same in both cases.
