Good luck to them but given the intermittent nature of wind, the main problem with wind energy is storage not the turbine. So a turbine like this, which is probably rated at 500 Watts or so, must be coupled with a battery pack like the Tesla's Powerwall. Even then, 2-5 kWh is not significant. The power consumption of a typical refrigerator 1-1.5 kWh/day.
