Looking to save a bit on the electricity bill or become less dependent on the grid?
Before the state taxes the air, perhaps you can save some money and become more self-sufficient by creating wind power for your home.
You’ll be hard pressed to find a better set of instructional videos online on creating a wind turbine than this.
just need some decent wind!!!…. I have an average of under 7kts …. ugh. For some it is a great idea!!
They need to put cages around them like a house fan to protect the birds !
i,ve seen a lot of wind mills pop up in wisconsin over the years only to dissapear within 3 years! why?
because its a scam…………
Growing up in Kansas prior to REA, I can remember going to visit relatives in the country who had “wind chargers” suck as this….
oops….such
You have to have a special permit to have them inside city limits where I live. 🙁
Belle- tens of thousands more birds are killed yearly by vehicles.
Jeff- many don’t generate enough power since they don’t get their towers high enough (50-100ft). The constant speeding up and slowing down leads to low power output and premature failure. The MTBF on most windmills averages 6 years.
Crystal- yes, since windmills can be very dangerous unmaintained and previously there were few laws in place to make a homeowner take down a windmill of they moved.
Solar panels, don’t need no stinking wind and don’t kill birds!
Kill birds, weed out the bird gene pool, you say potatoe, I say potato.
