You can see wind turbines for miles on end if you travel from Palm Springs and Los Angeles, California. They were the brain child of the then California Governor Gerry Brown. Many thought he was off his rocker but he thought the whole state would someday use wind turbines for their primary source of electrical power. It has not turned out that way but he had a good idea you can take advantage of. And remember the wind mill has been one of the oldest form of power generation known to man.
But today years later the wind turbines are still there and still providing energy. Although their power is not as vast as Brown may have predicted. In this day of threats of global warming and going green to save the environment it is a question why there are not more wind turbines providing more power; perhaps there are not companies that came make a lot of money off wind turbines so they are not as developed as they should be.
You can take advantage of this technology on your property if you have the right system in place. You need a tall tower and a wiring system in place in your home or business to use the kinetic energy collected by the turbine.
You will of course want to have a local power utility in effect also because you cannot count on the constant wind needed to drive the wind turbine. As the wind grows you need less utility power but as it decreases of course you will be buying your power like before from the electric company.
But if your wind turbine produces more power than you need then you are actually selling the extra power to the power company. You should have an average of a ten mile per hour wind in your area if you expect for this to make economic sense given the price to install the wind turbine system. The residential wind turbine is not very noisy. It is the same as a washing machine.
And it does not interfere with television reception. But you are looking at a tower of about one hundred feet when you install a wind turbine on your property. You will have to check with your local zoning laws to see if this is allowed in your area. You can expect to pay anywhere from five thousand to twenty five thousand dollars to have a wind turbine installed depending on the size and the manufacturer you contract with.
Expect to pay a yearly maintenance fee. But in fifteen years average your investment, the money you pay for installation and maintenance, will pay for itself. You will have free electrical power from then on out. If you are expecting to retire where you are now living this could be a prudent investment because you will not have to pay for bill increases over the years.
When you are ready to look into installing a wind turbine you can save money by installing it yourself. Or if you can deal with a company that does all the work and then offers a maintenance plan. - 32387

When you are ready to look into installing wind turbines you can save cash by installing it yourself. Or if you prefer dealing with a wind turbine company that does all the work while offering a maintenance plan.
