  1. The problem with wind power is that they can't seem to crack the home market, the small turbines are either too noisy, don't produce that much energy and too expensive, whereas Solar is becoming a far better investment when it comes to renewable energy, at least at small scale, wind is fine at much bigger scale. It's a shame really because I would love to have a mix setup of solar and wind power, they would both complement each other, solar would work better in summer, whiles wind would work better in winter and at nighttime when winds tend to be higher, it would also be useful in summer, but until they can crack the small size whiles being able to produce worthwhile energy, reduce the price and all be done whiles being quiet, if they can't crack that, Solar is going to blow away the wind market by a massive margin, especially over the next 2 decades that renewable on the home and business is going to boom, probably to levels that we could produce most if not all our energy needs on-site, especially as battery tech gets better and cheaper. That would be bad news for the wind sector, because if most energy is being done on-site, that's going to push the wind industry out, not to mention that there is a lot of opposition to big wind turbines around the world and personally, I think the wind industry needs to find ways of harvesting more energy at a smaller scale in urban areas, otherwise, I suspect the solar industry is going to kill or really damage to wind industry.
