David Cameron is determined to install a mini turbine on his roof despite problems with planning 鈥� is he wasting his time?

Gordon Brown鈥檚 Budget offered homeowners another 拢6m towards mini-wind turbines and other microgeneration technologies.

Would you apply for one of Gordon鈥檚 grants and install a wind turbine on your roof. Or do you think homeowners should wait until the national grid starts supplying 鈥渓ow-carbon鈥� electricity from giant off-shore turbines?

Tell us what you think and join the debate on the benefits or otherwise of small-scale domestic renewables.
