It's not the yard size that's an issue so much as the fact that it's a giant eye-sore. For rural homes it might make sense, or acreages, etc. But if you have a neighbour on each fence, erecting a large enough wind turbine to be effective would probably impact their line of sight. Plus I'm not sure how high you can have a structure in your backyard in Calgary. My impression is that efficient/effective wind turbines are fairly large/tall.
