I feel like the wind-turbine industry is ripe with possible innovation opportunities. It has now grown to the scale where serious r&d can expect meaningful returns.
Especially in the area of residential-scale turbines. We've seen, with the roll-out of rooftop solar that people with good solar conditions are prepared to generate supplemental electricity. There's an untapped market for those in poor solar, but good wind, areas, or with a desire for both.
I'm not saying it's a silver bullet, but so far the economics of wind at residential level are behind solar.
