Dude, all you need to do is spend $13k for one of these,

And then mount it 30 feet above the tallest tree or building near you.

How hard can it be?

    I thought it would be nice to get a wind turbine since that could produce some useful electricity in months that contain the letter 'r'.

    11k EUR

    2 kW

    Price of electricity is like 10 cents a kWh average throughout the year

    11000/2/0.1 = 55000 hours

    Will pay off if it produces 2 kW for 6 years straight. I don't think I'm getting one.

    i mean, if you're in flat open farmland with a steady breeze why the hell not run up a pole?

    Most of us aren't on farms. But yeah, if you are I'd definitely look into it. Especially if you're running large refrigerators and/or freezers.
