I thought of the same thing. Even if you install orb or other omni-directional windmills, the quantity and placing should provide a good ROI. By eliminating the majority of the tower cost and the cost of linking to the grid, it reduces the cost overall. If not a windmill or in addition to a small solar panel should be added. All means of increasing the energy input to the grid allows for reduced manufacture of energy. Agreed. I thought of the same thing.

Small windmills could also be mounted above the walkways that go over some of the highways. I live near Bangerter Highway in Utah and it has a lot of the big cement walking bridges over it. They are nice and high and few obstructions if any. As long as the street poles are high enough above any neighboring buildings and such.

I would use the helical turbines and was also looking at all the metal street pole lights also. Thought of the same idea last month.
