As with all tiny homes, I wonder what the property to put it on (with plumbing and services) will cost.

From the article:

"Stora Enso and Voodin Blade Technology GmbH are working on making sustainably sourced wood turbine blades that can easily be reused at the end of their lifespans, and Canvus is repurposing wind turbine parts into furniture."
