CB: "About the laws passed so that all appliances will need to have the software to be remotely controlled so that the government can limit the peoples use of their electrical appliances"
Codswallop, reference please (credible source)
Take your pick from the IEA article!
"RENEWABLES like solar and wind power represent the fastest-growing source of energy generation and will make up a quarter of the global power mix by 2018, the International Energy Agency IEA says. "
"The IEA said non-hydro renewable power, mainly wind and solar photovoltaics, is projected to grow from four per cent of all power generation in 2011 to eight per cent in 2018."
Either are admirable, However 8% or 25% of a total that is far more than the globe can handle is of no import, and when all the effects of past renewables are compared with the steady annual rise in CO2 concentration, there is absolutely no change in the positive trend, and in fact it is accelerating.
As for individual home wind turbines, not a good idea really, e.g. for a 2Kw rated unit:
9 metre tower
Rotor Diameter: 3.6 Metres.
Rated Wind Speed: 10 m/s.(36 kph)
Not really a practical idea. Study the engineering/aesthetics, and designs currently available for micro wind power generation.
