Moulin a vent a la maison

I heard some geezer on the radio yesterday talking about how easy it is to put a domestic wind turbine on your roof at home.

Apparently the cost can be as low as £1500, which is closer to £1000 if you get one of them there grant thingies.

He reckoned it was so straightoforward that it won't be long before you can buy the things in B&Q and fit it yourself... "As simple as plugging it in to a 3-pin socket."

You what? Surely not that easy?

With that kind of cost, you'd get a return on your investment in around 3 years, plus you could have electric everything, couldn't you? Electric carving knife, breadmaker, coffee stirrer, toothbrush, hairbrush. And you could leave the iron on all day, as I did yesterday, and the only cost would be your house burning down, as mine didn't yesterday.

Er... I think that's #1997
