Localized Wind Power Blowing More Near Homes, Farms & Factories

Americans are increasingly installing wind turbines near their homes, farms and businesses to generate their own energy, concludes a new report released today.The 2012 Market Report on Wind Technologies in Distributed Applications is the first comprehensive analysis on a growing field called distributed wind, which involves generating wind energy close to where it will be used instead of purchasing power from large, centralized wind farms. Distributed wind can range from a small, solitary turbine in someone’s backyard to several large turbines that power a manufacturing facility or a neighborhood….
