It is estimated that there are 15 million homes in the United States with the potential to install a small wind turbine.

To determine whether your residence or business location is a good candidate for wind power, answer these questions:

• Is the size of your property one acre or more?
• Do you currently pay at least 10 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) for electricity?
• Does your location have an average wind speed of at least 10 mph?

If you answered yes to these questions, you could use wind power to generate electricity, reduce pollutiion, and stabilize your electric rate for the life of the wind turbine.
