For the record, I live in the tiniest valley. The stream is only 1 or
2 feet deep and only 6 feet across most of the time, and the valley is
only a half mile to a mile wide and 30 feet deep, I think, so it is
pretty shallow. There are big trees on two sides of me.
And I get almost no breeze most of the time.
Before relying on wind to turn the turbine, check if there is wind.
If the turbine costs so much money, wind may cost extra.
