Looks like alternative energy is finally going to be accessible to the average home owner via Ace Hardware stores...pretty neat.

"Um, yeh...just a roll of duct tape and this plunger please. Oh, and can I get one of those wind turbines too?"

Homeowners this fall will be able to buy a wind turbine at hardware stores that tackles the small wind industry's <I>bete noire</I>: slow wind.

<A href="http://www.earthtronics.com/honeywell.aspx">WindTronics</A>, based in Muskegon, Mich., has developed a wind turbine sized for individual homes that it says can operate at speeds as low as 2 miles an hour.

The fan-like turbine will generate 2,000 kilowatt-hours in a year for a home with a very good--called Class 4--wind resource, according to the company. That's between 15 and 20 percent of the annual electricity consumption for the average U.S. home.
