Re: Saving the world, one windfarm at a time (4.00 / 2)

Small wind has less potential coverage than solar PV. It's more of a niche technology. If you use it, you should be sure that you get something out of it (a lower price than for solar PV, first of all).

Re: Saving the world, one windfarm at a time (none / 1)

How does small wind and solar PV compare on EROEI basis?

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

No clue. Current solar PV now has a payback period of 1 and a half years, I gather, from what I gather. Which given the 30 year lifespan you can reasonably expect is 20:1. I've never seen anything on small wind.
