According to a press release, a 15 kW turbine produces as much income for a farmer as a flock of sheep and pays for itself within a few years.Wales recently committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050 and wind turbines help reduce the use of hydrocarbons. Ashden "champions and supports sustainable energy leaders to accelerate the transition to a low carbon world," according to its website.
