Wind is one of the fastest growing green energy sources in the world. The UK is the windiest country in the UK and with the UK's climate, it is ideally situated to capitalise on wind energy. According to the Energy Savings Trust, 40% of the wind energy in Europe blows over the UK. Depending on the location of your home, even a small wind generator can yield respectable amounts of energy to reduce your home's reliance on the national grid and lower your energy bills.
