Dallas Business Journal ran an article last year about Mag-Wind a Plano, Texas, USA company that builds a turbine for individual homes. Efficiency is increased by taking advantage of "Roof Effect". There are some doubters though.

Meanwhile, the defense department is putting a spanner in the wind-farm works.

Meanwhile, here's a discussion on the merits of plugging in that hybrid. And finally, Google's going solar.
