Some really weird looking things pop up on rooftops. Now, next to the satellite dishes, TV antennae’s, and solar water heaters, you may be seeing more Rooftop Wind Turbines.

The small footprint of these microturbines means that they’re less intrusive than previous models. They also make less noise and have smaller price tags. But, since wind energy is a geometric function of size, there’s some doubt about the efficiency of micro-turbines.

I wonder if these would be any easier to get approval for than solar panels?
