Default Re: Wind turbines in cities

I understand some buildings can be fitted with "micro wind turbines" affixed on the buildings themselves, the total of output equal with the lighting needs.
As for its HVAC and other power needs is much higher then can be satisfied by the "micro wind turbines".
The wind turbines we read about is huge has a negative same mentality of "not in my backyard/in my neighborhood", this is usually reserved for prisons/apartments/housing for battered women.
I think we need to do what we can and encourage investment into transmission lines.
Tax rebates of 50% of the cost of homeowners/businesses if they build green and add wind/solar generation to meet their needs, and if it happens to produce even a little more for others.
