Default Ridge vent or wind turbines?

Hello,
My house has not attic ventilation other that the 2 gable vents.

I know I need to add eave vents but would like ya'lls opinion on
ridge vents versus wind turbines.

I have heard the pros and con from friends and family about ridge
vents and wind turbines.
ie, if it is storming badly, ridge vents can let water in.
wind turbines don't last, noisy, etc .....
etc ....

I live in Arlington, Texas. If this make a difference.


I'm in Houston.

No question, do both.

Ridge vents don't move as much air as turbines, but they'll move a bit when
there's no wind to drive a turbine.
