    My father in law showed me this article:

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-2104029,00.html

    I'm a bit confused. It seems to suggest that grants for domestic wind turbines are non existent at the moment and someone is making a suggestion that they might be introduced (value 50-100Stg per year)

    I thought that UK had much more generous grants against the capital for installing micro turbines already (or is this purely a perception I picked up incorrectly). If I read the article correctly maybe the 50-100 pounds savings it touts would be selling back electricity to the grid. That also confuses me becauuse it also talks of roof mounted turbines. I thought that the sort of turbines which would be capable of selling anything back to the grid would be more likely to be much larger units and would probably be placed on the land surrounding your house rather than mounted on your wall/roof/chimney whatever.

    Can anyone clear up my confusion... ?
