Integrated systems, those that make the energy where the need and/or greed is are far more acceptable than those that make rural dwellers suffer with industrial wind 'farms'.Buildings that incorporate the new turbine technologies into their own designs just makes more sense. Additionally, there would be no need for massive transmission lines becuase power is on-site, therefore less expensive in the long run. This is definitely one to keep a watch on.
