One of a Kind Wind Turbine

One of a Kind Wind Turbine - Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 4:24PM EST

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- Imagine a life free of electricity bills. One Wilkes-Barre man hopes to accomplish just that while helping the environment.
The wind that blows wind chimes and flags here Dana Street in Wilkes-Barre could power Ralph Russo's home. “This is a real technological breakthrough for everyone involved," says Russo.

Russo wants to install a vertical axis wind turbine on his roof. Russo says the wind it collects would energize his home, erasing electric bills.

Russo showed us the unassembled turbine in his basement. To him, the turbine is his part in sustaining the environment. Russo says, "We're ruining our environment , you know global warming is real. This unit will save me 1,200 and 5 pounds of carbon dioxide a month. "

In 5 years, Russo says he could earn some green while going green. He'll sell energy his home doesn't use back to PP & L.

But Russo says the more immediate goal is, "I want to make sure we have a livable habitat for future generations."

When Russo talked to his neighbors he says one of the main concerns was noise. He says the turbine on top of his roof will make less noise than a refrigerator.

Eyewitness News learned Russo’s application was approved unanimously Wednesday afternoon.
