Marc,

Its all to do with economics, unless that is your doing it to be green,
etc=
.
I doubt many people would spend =A33K to =A35K on insulation then another =
=A31.5K
on a wind turbine just to save a few hundred pounds per year unless they
intended to live in the house for the rest of their lives or a considerable
portion of it. But to balance things I would be quite prepared to invest
=A31.5 in a turbine that paid for itself within 3 to 4 years.

To be honest, if your wasting that much money from not having loft
insulation or cavity wall insulation, why bother with a wind turbine ?=20

I have both.. was the first thing I did when I moved in and
drastically change our fuel bills.=20
