For what it is worth, there are very few location in Canada that can justify wind gen. A few spots in S AB, S MB and the east coast can work, but generally at poor returns that don't really attract much attention to investment dollars compared to alternatives.
Not sure what you mean by inexpensive, but you certainly can't be refering to the sunk cost of a turbine.
In general if any of your ideas worked commercially on any kind of real scale, they'd have already happened. Nobody is alergic to money, so if there was a buck to make these ideas would not be found once in a while on chat forums. The trick will be taking some of these nice and cute ideas and turning them into commercial scale operations that actually make an impact.
I'm all for ideas and don't really mean to discourage them, but the market can tell you if they work or not.
