So much energy, right over our homes, that can be harvested, used, stored.

Gale winds over the UK right now.

I have become addicted to monitoring the solar harvest on my panels

Like solar, wind is also broadly distributed. I'm still awaiting an effective home wind turbine. Even at 0.1 kWh production it would make a difference at home, in addition to reducing pressure on the grid and its associated infrastructure costs.

agree completely. The hardware is a bit more expensive, I believe, but getting cheaper. I had a neighbor in Arizona twenty years ago that had an at home wind turbine, so clearly feasible.
