Converting the boiler is not simple, but you can put in assorted electric

First step is to find out what restrictions may apply. Here in CT a fellow
put in a windmill, but the town made him take it down as it was too high and
violated zoning regulations.

Good luck, I hope it works for you.


Then there are always the NIMBYs. A private investor group with no
government subsidy (shocking I know) wanted to install windmills near
here. There is a development that is filled with giant McMansions with
multiple fluffed up trucks in the driveway where some influential people
live. Even though the proposed farm was 7 miles away from them they
managed to enact a convoluted zoning change to protect *their* view.
