I'm talking about solutions on a macro scale, not micro.
If someone wants to put a panel or two on their roof, I completely support that. Granted, the initial cost is a bit steep, but that's absolutely someone's right to do if they so choose.
Wind power for home use is really only practical on farms. You typically need the blades to be a full 20 feet above the roofline and/or treeline of your property to provide any kind of benefit. In some places (like the northeast) that means you'd have to erect a 200-foot-tall pole just to mount the turbine onto. The guy wires alone would probably stretch out way beyond the average homeowners property line to make wind power feasible
