I've considered it . . . but, the cost vs. efficiency makes it highly unlikely. At this point in life, taking out a $60,000+ loan to save maybe $3,000 a year is stupid.

Would love it, process is a bit daunting though

We have them and we are happy we're helping just a little bit..

It costs too much money and won't save you much

Dianne Price

Can't afford them!!

den b

At my age (75) not cost effective.

Don't have them, but did seriously consider them this past summer. They're just too much of a cash outlay upfront, even with the fed and state subsidies, It takes too many years to recoup the outlay.

Adam Johnson

It's a rental

Larry Ewart

Was told I would have to live in my present home close to 10 years before reaping any real benefits.

Sussie Due

Waaaaaaaay too expensive.

The survival of humans and the ecosystem at large depends on our transition to renewable energy.

Jessica Orsini

Sustainable power and a long-term subsidy to the folks owning the land? What's not to like?

Randy Wheeler

Any thing to lessen reliance on coal and gas is a good thing.

Some county residents have spoken against wind turbines at public hearings. Their objections include the noise and the size of property setbacks.

They can charge Columbia's E-scooters with them.

Will Mason

They are giant, noisy, bird murdering machines.

Wanda Crowe

I have had 59 wind turbines built right across from our beautiful farm in Iowa. It was horrible. Causes migraines and cows just up and died with no explanation. Just think what it does to humans.
