Can you purchase a Windpower mill for your residential area? I was having a conversation with an old friend who said that this was something they were going to try to do but I had never heard of that before.

I believer there are some smaller ones made for residential homes that can be bought through private companies. I remember seeing them in pretty wide use in certain parts of Texas when I was visiting a few years ago.

I also think it can be possible.But I'm not quite sure about the price.I know that wind turbines are very,very expensive.I don't know what are the minimum houses needed for one and how many residential areas can actually afford it.
Speaking of little ones,I've seen a couple myself.Only for a single house.Ranches use them a lot from what I know.

There are home mills, but not sure what you mean by residential. We own a farm and have the room for it as well as distance from neighbors, but if you mean in a housing addition, close to other homes, I doubt there would be a suitable solution.

From what I've read, though, those with sustainable winds at higher levels (above the trees and landscape of your area) have the best shot at harvesting wind power. We have a hill behind our house that usually has moderate wind and, with a high tower, we're thinking it might work here.

Depending on your location, you could purchase a wind mill but the practicality of it would probably be useless simply because you would not be able to generate much due to lack of airflow.

Unless you were on a farm or have lots of open space as Tartan mentioned, residential areas will not generate you enough energy to mabye even run a couple of appliances.

In urban areas, I would suggest solar energy to be a more efficient source of energy.
