Wind Power (Windmill)
I thought about generatorating more green power, I currently have a solar system that powers my first floor (when necessary), my well pump and also a separate one that powers my garage. But what about wind power, for me, it's just not feasible, since the wind doesn't blow to keep a wind generator moving (at least 10 mph).
But for some of you, it may pay. One thing to keep in mind is the cost and set up, it is more costly than having solar panels.
Does anybody here have wind power or considering wind power, here's a link on some things to know/consider:

Re: Wind Power (Windmill)
From the above link:
Indeed, I have never seen a small wind system that produced electricity, economically. I have seen many wind turbines pump water efficiently, however.
This means the average time to recover just the cost of installation exceeds 100,000 hours (about 11 years). After that, you have to begin paying for the maintenance you have been doing, over the years.The average cost of small wind projects installed in 2017 was $10,117/kilowatt
