Can I attach a wind mill to my suburban house? Should I?

My neighbors probably would say no! But people are starting to consider adding wind power to their homes. Find a wind map of your state (this is a commercial site with tons of good information, unfortunately it is built with ancient frame technology that doesn’t let me pick URLs for specific areas of the site- very bad SEO strategy guys!). It doesn’t show my area of NY (Rochester) being a good candidate for wind power.

That and the fact that you need an 18 meter tall mast will probably put that concept on hold for me right now.
So unless you can have a big pole in your yard or have the room for a 500′ trench, wind and geothermal are limited options. I’m guessing some entrepreneur is probably working on more urban-friendly solutions. If you know about them, let me know.
