I get the appeal but there’s a reason commercial wind turbines are really big and located in optimal wind resources.
In short, the capacity factor of small wind turbines in the places most people will choose to live is terrible.
It may not be as satisfying but some combination of solar panels, batteries, and heat pumps (with the proviso that people in really cold climate either need to go ground based or have a backup) is going to work a hell of a lot better for anyone not living in the furious fifties.
