Power From the Wind

Wind Power can be a reliable source of electricity for you.
This is a positive alternative, that will help you lower your
power bill.
We know that the big power companies are adding windmills that
produce power to their grids as a way to produce more. We know it works.

Now that we have established that wind power is an effective
way to produce power for the big companies, lets get it down
to our size as we do not have millions of dollars to invest.

The biggest problem is finding the right plans and
then following through. It does take some time reading ,
studying, and locating the supplies to build the right
power alternative that fits your own needs.

With the costs going up on everything that we purchase,
the promise of tax being added to our electric bill,wages not going up,
it is time to look at some alternatives.

I am sorry that nothing is free, not even the plans to
build an alternative is free.
The links on the left are there for you to
look over and see if any of them fit your needs.

You do not have to keep paying high electric bills.

Cap and Trade Bill Dead

This Cap and Trade bill that passed
congress and is headed to the senate
will probably not get any further.

From what I have been reading in the news,
34 votes is all that the Democrats can
come up with, and that is a far cry from
the 60 votes needed to pass this bill.

Now who knows for sure, there will be
lots of backdoor deals, and some rewrites,
concessions and whatever else to keep this
bill going, or at least a chance to come back.

I am tired of all the lies from the Top
on down, but the one thing I am sure of,the
cost to have and use power in your home is
going to go up. All the power companies that
would be affected by this cap and trade bill
will start charging more to make up the cost
of upgrading their power plants just in case
this type of bill comes up again. They do
not wanna be caught unprepared.

This is still the time to start
building your own Solar or Wind power
system.

Solar or Wind Power is it Worth it?

In todays economy we have to watch the
money we spend to save us money. This is
going to be true for a long time to come
in all our choices, from healthcare, vehicles
we buy, to the type of power we use.

Wind and solar power are getting alot of
attention these days due to the worry over
climate change and air polution, plus the
cap and trade bill which is going to require
alot of changes in the way we produce power.

We, myself included, need to look at becoming
more self sufficient in our personal lives.

I am not really talking about going green,
which actually fits in, but just plain and simple,
saving money on your electric and or gas bill.

I would not go and invest 15 or 20 grand on
a big power producing windmill, it will take to
long to see any money saved. The alternative is
to build your own power source, Windmill or Solar
and just cut your dependancy on the big companies.

This building your own power source is inexpensive
and anyone can do it.

The materials needed to do this are local,
and you can be experiencing a very good feeling
when you see your power bill cut in 1/2 or more.

Remember, there is going to be more tax
on power, plus the regular increases from
the power companies.

Yes it will be Worth the time and money.

Wind Power

Wind power is derided by those critical of the idea as the kind of power used a couple of centuries ago to power the big sail ships that discovered the American continent to begin. Granted, this is a reasoning which at face value is hard to argue. But, there are also other considerations to keep in mind. The pros and cons of wind power are hardly simplistic.




As a renewable energy source, wind power is sometimes hailed as being the answer to those who are not sure where the solar power debate is going. After all, it is plentiful, available around the world, can be harnessed, and of course makes for extensive energy applications.




Sadly, this is where the list of positive attributes by and large stops. A listing of the pros and cons of wind power showcases that the itemization on the con side is a lot more plentiful. The predictability of the wind, for example, leaves a lot to be desired and it is entirely possible to not experience any wind during certain times.




Even though wind power is mainly an energy resource that replaces fossil power generation, it can also be used for replacing existing power plant capacity. In areas where wind power production is high during peak demand, wind power can replace other capacity by up to 40 percent of the installed wind power capacity.




In addition, the impact that the creation of wind harnessing mills has on the environment is somewhat questionable. There is the clearing of vast fields that must be discussed, the impact on animals caught in the turbines, and of course the aesthetics involved in seeing vast open spaces littered with these contraptions. The cost is also sometimes cited as being too high for the actual wind energy that may be obtained from the turbines being operated.
