Yes. Wind turbine systems use no energy, and using one can offset the pollution that would be produced on your behalf by the utility company. A wind energy system can, over its lifetime, offset greenhouse gases that would have otherwise been produced to power your home by as much as 200 tons. That’s a lot of carbon dioxide and other pollutants that you’ll not be contributing.
