(11 m) cruiser slows as it draws close to its quarry, and its four Greek sailors gather at the front windshield. One of the men trips the Lambro's floodlights. Bobbing in the open sea 50 feet away are five young men, shielding their eyes from the sudden beam of light.

That's partly because residential wind turbines require space and sky - at least half an acre of open land - to get access to consistent winds. Still, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), some 15 million homes in the U.S. fit that definition - and small turbines, unlike large wind farms, can be productive in weaker breezes, which puts more of the country into play, though the best...
