I've been looking into wind energy. But instead of using a generator
and batteries, what I'm considering is an air-compressor and
air-tanks. the compressed air is then able to drive a generator for
demand use. Alas, the new digs is kinda a nice neighborhood and a
wind-turbine in the back yard might be frowned upon. So I'll probably
just end up going solar.
