What's the next stage to creating an eco-friendly home?

Could it be putting a wind turbine on your roof?

You know, if it's going all day, then it's enough for our computers and our fridge.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

So if it's really getting enough wind and if it's getting, you know, strong wind,

then it's enough to run a computer and a fridge and put power into the batteries.

We'll head to Portugal to meet some people who've done it and find out the reasons it might not work so well in our towns and cities.

I think that where the technology needs to go is to provide some more reliability.

At the moment, small wind is really a cowboy industry.

If you look online at reviews for any turbines that you can buy,

they're just full of customer reviews saying, you know,

this did not generate what it said or it just, you know, spun

itself to pieces. As energy prices remain high in many countries after COVID and multiple wars,

we look where people are going next. I don't think it's that far down the line, Rick. I think

we're already starting to see it. You know, every year that goes by, you're going to start asking

the question of, well, where can I get the cheapest possible electricity to store? You know, every year that goes by, you're going to start asking the question of, well, where can I get the cheapest possible electricity to store?

You know, you can buy it off the grid in the middle of the night, or you can get your solar panels in the middle of the day.

But if you had your own wind turbine on your house, even a small, inefficient one, you know, that would normally be pretty useless.

If it's trickle feeding into a battery, that's, you know, to your advantage. This is Rick Kelsey on Business Daily on a mission to answer the question, should I put a

wind turbine on my roof as more people search for ways to save money on powering their home.

Were you standing or sitting right now?
