For those new to the concept of wind energy, here is a bit of information for you. A wind turbine is technically a rotary device used to extract energy from wind that is used to generate electricity. To avoid confusion, a windmill does the same thing, except the windmill's energy is used by machinery directly. It's a small difference, but that is what differentiates the classification between the two.
Wind turbines can be used to generate free energy to supplement your utility-provided power. However, the cost of having one professionally put in is somewhat prohibitive on an individual basis. Similar to solar panels, these can be excellent long-term investments, and thus there has been a movement afoot to create your own. I have provided a link on building your own solar panels or a wind turbine generator if you would like information on a cheaper way to take advantage of this technology.
