Why big wind's flying, but home turbines have hit a stormy patch

I've written a piece about wind power in today's Guardian. Just in case the article's taken the wrong way, I'd like to stress that I'm hugely in favour of wind power, but from what I've heard and read, home turbines just aren't yet ready for primetime - and pretending they are could have disastrous consequences. Have any thegreenguy readers got a home turbine? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience of it. I would pledge this is my last Xmas post, but I've clearly broken my promise on that already.
