What is the best source of low-cost light-weight, small wind turbines to generate electricity?

I want to explore the feasibility of using of wind energy in my particular urban environment where there is both reliable moderate to high wind speeds and a great need for electricity. The question general need to answer is whether a local low-cost solution can generate electricity economically enough to compete on cost with the electricity generated in parks farms located at a distance. If so, the local solution could help somewhere to solve the problem of finding alternatives to fossil fuels. Even a 1% solution would be an important contribution, given the enormous problem of global warming.

There are many companies that manufacture the turbines small. Http://www.awea.org/smallwind/smsyslst.html Here is a list of problems facing these are local zoning laws, which usually not allow you to place one. Integration with power utility, which only allowed in some areas and with some companies. Expenses, may pay a few thousand dollars, when including electronics to integrate production with the power grid. Wind, most places do not have enough constant wind to justify the use of a wind turbine.

Revolutionary Urban Wind Turbine Design

Urban Wind Energy $74.99 Energy security, rising energy prices (oil, gas, electricity), ‘peak oil’, environmental pollution, nuclear energy, climate change and sustainable living are hot topics across the globe. Meanwhile, abundant and perpetual wind resources offer opportunities, via recent technological developments, to provide part of the solution to address these key issues. The rapid growth of large-scale wind far…
