"Having fewer total turbines means a wind farm could space them farther apart, avoiding airflow interference. The turbines would be nearly twice as tall, so they’ll reach a higher, gustier part of the atmosphere. And big turbines don’t need to spin as quickly, so they would make economic sense in places with average wind speeds around 5 meters per second… "

    I can see more like where people could have one or three or so Harmony Turbines in their own yard, along with solar panels on their roof.

    If enough people managed to adopt these sort of technologies on their own property, it could definitely put a good chunk of potentially excess power right back into the grid.

      Yes, this definitely should be a part of the energy mix, we are about to experience an energy crisis in the US due to bad changes in policy. We need to deploy wind at all scales.
