A small rooftop wind turbine. If the article is correct about the costs and ROI this would be perfect for Lincoln, NE. A 13mph wind is a normal day and 1.1kW is enough to provide most of your home power. The cost of electricity from this device is 3.5 cents per kWh. That's quite low. Although one should consider that without a battery system much of your power will be lost at night.
Still, this is very affordable alternative energy for home installation.
