My personal electricity needs are met by 5.3¢/kWh power from the same Grand Coulee Dam that Woody Guthrie sang about.
If I were to try to employ wind power it would be wind->compressed air->electricity.
Probably a vertical axis windmill on top of this 25ft 1" hex-bar stock I have, with an air compressor (that currently needs a new motor) at the bottom of the tower. The hex bar would store energy in torsion, until it kicks over the air compressor.
