I have been doing a lot of reading, trying to get a handle on this
Cap and Tax bill, so as to define the real costs to us, American Families.
The results went from 175.00 year or .02% of our yearly income, to,
7000.00 per year. But this study that was done was for the year 2020.
I would dearly love to believe the 175.00 theory, but common sense
tells me that is way low. I also believe the 7000.00 could be high, or at least I hope so.
We as innovative Americans, need to be prepared for the worst possible
scenario. We can help ourselves and our neighbors if we want to.
How about we have a look into the future on your egg thing
that you buy in the morning for breakfast on the way to work. The
cost now 2.50, I am just using a number here, you can put in your
own when you start figuring the costs.
Now the farmer that is growing
feed for those chickens has to irrigate his fields, and to power his pumps
he is using electricity. The grain mill uses power to make the grain into chicken feed.
The chicken grower is using this same type of power
to raise the young chicks to adults, now the egg producing farmer is
using power to feed the chickens, clean the eggs run lights, heaters, and so on.
Okay, we got the egg and now it still has be kept cool and then cooked and served.
By the time this is all done, it is not going to be chicken feed any longer,
(pun intended).
Now I didn't add in all the rising costs on all the other things that go with shipping, storing
and more.
In other words, everything that we consume is going to go up.
I guess I will say it again, start getting more independant from the Power
companies, get your wind or solar power station set up today.
There are good tax breaks invoved.

Use of Windmills Today
I don't know if there is such a record, as to when windmills were put in to use
pumping water, but today they do a lot more than that.
Windmills that power a generator to provide electricity for the home owner
is proving to be popular, not discounting the savings on the power bill. Home owners
are adding this type of green power to lower the costs, and also for Tax deductions. If
a person makes more power than one uses, most power companies will buy the rest,
that is a plus in the green program.
In the near future, our government is going to put into place, the Cap and Tax bill, which
is going to raise the price of our power substantially. These big electric companies
are going to pass on the costs directly to us, the consumer.
Now before this happens, all of us need to decide which power alternative is right
for the area we live in and start building accordingly.
Wind power is one of the cheaper ways to go, but if your place of living has sunshine
in abundance,you might want to look at solar power as your alternative.
Wind Power is something that you can do at home to give yourself relief
from the big power bills.

Going Green
Well folks, I do not believe in climate warming as this blog might look, but I do think that being independent is the way to go.
There is a lot being said on the news and in the media about saving the earth from us humans,
but that is not what is needed. We are not powerful enough to ruin this planet,but we can help
ourselves.
The economics is this country (USA) are needing a lot of attention. Yes, I am a causality of
Obama economics, but I am somewhat independent from the companies I am talking about.
By being independent from as many of the big Power and Gas companies
that we can, a person can and will save money and have a feeling of being self sufficient.
Wind and Solar Power are a great alternative to being on the ready made Power Grid.
You can do this without a big expense if you buy the instructions and follow their advice.
All of the materials that you need to build Solar panels and wind mills for Power, you
can buy at your local hardware store. The inverters to change your homemade power from
DC to AC can be found at Amazon.

Nervous at First
When I bought my first ebook on on how to build a power grid I was a bit suspicious.
I had heard I won't say all the stories but quite a few on how something was always left out of the plans so a person couldn't finish the job. Well those were exactly that, just stories.
I am very pleased with the plans and the support that was given to me when I was building the first one.
I am now working on the magnetic generator in my spare time to get completly off of the power grid.
This is a learning experience, but also rewarding.

Unique Uses For Solar Power
One cannot discuss this type of alternative energy supply without mentioning how it can power homes. Solar powered homes are becoming more and more popular as time goes by and energy prices rise. Many home owners have discovered that these systems are no longer the cheap fragile systems that once were and are in fact very reliable and powerful power producers.
Solar energy production has been so effective in residential homes that i has also gained popularity in the business and commercial fields. It is now common place today to see new buildings being built using green technologies. Many of these office buildings do not rely exclusively on the suns power but rather use it as an addition to normal electricity. The most popular use for it in commercial settings is to power lights.
Some state governments have also begun to phase in alternative energy methods to help reduce emissions and operating overhead. In the state of California for example the state government has started to install solar powered call boxes and even road signs are now being equipped with illumination systems that are powered by the suns stored energy!
Many cell phone towers that are located in remote and hard to reach areas also rely on sun power to stay operational. This technology alone has allowed for the rapid expansion of cell phone coverage across the world, areas that once had no reception now offer crystal clear reception!
Although alternative energy is still in its infancy many industries have proven its effectiveness and money saving potential. As more time passes and more research is done there will be more exciting developments in solar energy production and implementation.

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.

Grid Alternatives for the Farm
Farming gets very expensive when the price
of diesel and electricity start climbing. This cuts
deep into the profits of the farm as we all can figure, because
farmers can not raise the price of their products to cover the costs.
There are some ways that farmers such as myself(smallfarm)
can reduce the outgo.
My electric fence that I use to keep my cows in
is powered by Solar Power.
Bio Diesel to the run the tractor is easy to
make, and the cost is low. ( A little time consuming.)
It is hard to build something that would really
do some good in cutting costs because of the expense
to build a unit big enough to do the job.
These small ways of saving money through Solar
and Bio Diesel will lead you to come up with
more on your own.
We still need to provide for ourselves
and not depend on outside sources.
