Subject: RE: BS: Wind turbine efficiency
A wind turbine is super if used only to run a heat pump (two Saline heat exchanger tanks) that is buried 20 ft. down where it is always 52 degrees F.

That way you gets lots of heat in the winter when it is always fairly windy.

Add a solar panel to the system and it all flows together to make a nice off the grid Heating and AC unit.

It is my design but I have never built it. It seems elegant enough on paper.
