Arthur Turner asked:
escape the rising cost of energy. Or can we? Well, one sure way of doing so would be to build your own simple generator to generate your own electricity. There is, in fact, a way to do this. More and more people are finding that it is possible generate power, and slash costs, by following a simple prescription: Build your own wind generator!
I hope that you was no tempted to 'click away' upon reading that last sentence, thinking that this is not an option for you in reducing your energy bills. It is not nearly as difficult to build your own wind turbine. There are, of course, several ways in which you can benefit from this. Let's look at the latter first:
* Cost: The first, and perhaps the most significant, adavantage of setting up your own wind turbine is the fact that you can drastically reduce your energy bills. Putting up a simple system, perhaps combining wind with solar energy, could possible supply in all of your energy needs. This could translate into substantial savings every single month.
* Environmentally friendly: We are all aware of the fact that long term dependence on fossil fuels is simply unsustainable. Using a natural, freely available, resource like the wind can help you to 'do your bit' to help the environment.
* Profit: Believe it or not, but you can go beyond simply generate power for your own needs to generating surplus energy and selling it to the electricity networks. While few of us have large enough properties to actually make a living from doing this, most of use would find the extra few dollars per month very welcome!
This is all well and good you may say, but I am not a technical person and do not have the skills and know-how to put up a highly complex and possibly very expensive system. Good news on both counts! It is not expensive to build your own wind turbine and you also do not need a great deal of technical expertise. You can, in fact, use materials that are freely available and relatively cheap.
I want to urge you to look into the benefits of transferring at least part of your electricity usage to homebuilt wind generator power. If you take action you will see the positive results of a little bit of study and some light work for a long time yet!
