- 8:54the show. Let's talk tech. How much power can
- 9:00a one kilowatt wind turbine produce for your
- 9:02home? It all depends on the wind. The answer
- 9:06is a very reserved yes when it comes to home
- 9:09wind turbines actually working. In a carefully
- 9:12chosen position, a one kilowatt turbine could
- 9:15feasibly produce 200 kilowatt hours per month.
- 9:18or about 2 ,400 kilowatt hours per year. If you
- 9:24live in an area with annual wind speeds averaging
- 9:2614 miles per hour or more, this is worth looking
- 9:30into. However, a typical United States home requires
- 9:34much more capacity, around 5 kilowatts to 15
- 9:38kilowatts, to meet energy consumption needs.
