I live in a mountain pass which routinely get 20-30 m.p.h. winds every
night at dusk and every morning at sunrise.  Also, if you are familiar
with Los Angeles weather, there are seasonal winds called the Santa Ana's
which blow through in my area in excess of 100 m.p.h.  With all this wind,
there is a corresponding problem with downed power lines.  I am consequently
interested in purchasing a windmill for electric power generation, but
there are a lot of variables I still do not know about.  How much money
will get you how much power?  Who makes them?  Can I make my own, from
scratch, or from a kit?  What kind of efficiencies are possible and
practical?

		Thanks in advance...
