Vertical Axis Wind Turbines & Limits Of Innovation
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) have been around for a while but have found a recent popularity in the literature. Traditional wind turbines are HAWTs or Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines. VAWTs are an example of the kind of innovation that many people hope will help us to get to zero fossil fuel emissions by 2050.
VAWT’s are cheaper to build than HAWTs but have more wear and tear (which means more maintenance), are closer to the ground where airspeeds are lower, and are less efficient than HAWTs (30% v 35%). As a result, VAWTs have a lower ROI. It seems likely that, until their ROI matches or exceeds the ROI of HAWTs, they will only be used in limited situations where conditions make them preferable to HAWTs. These are for small energy applications where commercial electricity isn’t available and for densely populated areas where VAWT towers are not practical.

But yield isn t everything. As Morningstar s director of personal finance Christine Benz and others have pointed out, you can also invest for total return and sell some of your appreciated mutual funds and stocks to pay some expenses in retirement. Certainly, it makes sense to be flexible rather than chase yield.
But to see how things shake out today, I looked at the 13 highest-yielding funds in the Morningstar 500 as of Jan. 25, 2021, though the table shows yields as of March 8. This is one of those Don t try this at home things. I select the M500 list mostly on Morningstar Analyst Ratings but also include prominent and up-and-coming funds that may be rated Neutral or not rated. So, it s a fairly safe place for this exercise.
