HOME WIND POWER DIY
Arkansas DIY: Wind-powered energy source for homes? Turbines. Cost? Grants?
I live in Arkansas and have just started looking into possibly putting a turbine at my home (plenty of acreage) but it seems so unbelievably complex. Has anyone done this yet? Pointers? Cost? What’s needed and what’s not? I get price ranges from $7500 – $33,000.
Wind power is one of the most environment friendly means to generate electricity. The time taken to set up a wind power project is very short compared to the time taken to set up a conventional thermal power plant using coal or nuclear energy. A wind farm can be set up in areas where the wind is fast enough to power a wind turbine. If wind turbines are set up in all available locations, the energy generated will exceed the world’s power requirements more details at http://altenergy.in/
