Problem is, micro anything usually isn't good unless we're talking about electronics.
Economies of scale favor making ever larger turbines, because a small increase in radius exponentially increases the swept area...
That just triggered the hypothetical question of what diameter of wind turbine would power the world's electrical needs?
