There’s some up and coming ideas. The problem with traditional designs is that for them to be efficient and effective, they have to be big. Backyard turbines with less than 10 acres to work with won’t cut it. They might supplement things a bit, but they’re expensive for little gain.
I would add that when it comes to these sorts of things that have yet to see mass adoption, you should be skeptical of any individual thing. However, if there are ten different things, probably at least one of them is going to work out. In fact, that’s my general feeling about Matt Ferrell’s videos in general. Good for getting an overview of what might work in the future, but don’t be too quick to jump on any one thing.
