Forget about wind turbines on a house. A house in a windy location will generally need about 1kw wind turbine. The turbine should on at least a 30 foot tower, above your roof. That being said, turbines on top of buildings usually aren't a good idea. The building becomes an acoustic from the vibrations of the wind turbine. Not to mention your home probably wasn't build to handle the stress. Anyway..
Solar is great solution though.
Adapt to it.
One way to adapt to it is to expect radical swings in energy pricing, generally going up. Those people/countries that are using biofuel or other alternative energy will economically benefit. That's one thing you can do.
