Taking advantage of nature's free energy by using wind turbine power is a great way to chop your electricity bill every month.
The wind is always going to blow whether you buy a home windmill or not - the question is, are you going to just let all that energy slip through your fingers or will you harness it? Wind turbines have been around in many forms over time, for grinding grain, or pumping water. The current incarnation of the windmill is mostly used for spinning a electric turbine.
The energy that you convert from wind to electricity can be either consumed immediately or stored in a battery for later use. In the latter case, the battery can provide a great backup for your home in a power outage.
Most people who use wind turbine power at their home only use it to cover a portion of their power requirement each month.
Why use wind turbine power at your house?
1. It provides perpetual energy at ZERO cost
Once your savings on electricity costs have paid for the investment in the turbine, (usually after 8-10 years), your power from then on is free. The only thing you will have to pay for beyond that is maintenance on the windmill which is 0-0 per year, depending on the wind generator.
No longer will you be bound by your utility and the problems in the Middle East for your supply of power for your house. Having free energy means cutting down on or eliminating a cost that is 100% guaranteed to be going up in price.
The power your utility supplies you is, for the most part, supplied by fossil fuels, which are of finite supply and being used up fast.
2. Wind turbine power helps protect the planet for our kids
When fossil fuel power generators create power, the byproduct is carbon dioxide. That carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is influencing climate change.
By getting some or all of your power from the wind and other non-fossil fuel sources, you are helping to chip away at the damage carbon dioxide production is causing for our atmosphere and ultimately, the planetary ecosystem.
Wind turbine power is here to stay. In combination with solar power, you can power your house and possibly get off the electric grid altogether.
There is no better way to take control of your energy future than to start using nature's free energy that is there for the taking.
