When you picture wind energy solutions, you probably envision sprawling fields of tall white poles topped with three-blade propellers. Urban Green Energy wants to change that. They offer three sizes of vertical, asymmetrical wind turbines that you can not only install at your home (or business), but monitor...from anywhere. Their models are rated for 600 W, 1 kW and 4 kW and range in price from $4,000 to $19,000 just for the turbines (although they offer complete solutions with mounting, electronics, etc.).
