Wind Turbines… Are They Right For You?
If you're like millions of other Americans who are looking for ways to help the planet while taking back some of your independence from greedy utility companies, you may have wondered if building your own wind turbines makes sense.
Well, the short answer is yes, it does. Of course there are a few things you will need to keep in mind first.
For one thing, it doesn't make sense for most people to buy a turbine. The cost is so high that it will take a long time to get that money back in energy savings.
It is possible to build your own though, and that option does make sense for many people. Since you can build your own turbine in a few days for around $200 most anyone can manage it.
You will save around 80% on your utility bills with just one turbine. If you are in an area where you have room for more than one your savings will be considerably more.
You could even get to the point where you're generating enough electricity to sell some back to the utility company. How cool would that be, having a utility company send you a check?
Many people might choose to combine a wind turbine with a few solar panels to optimize their clean energy.
Typically a wind turbine offers greater electricity generating levels than a solar panel, one turbine will make about 5 times more electricity than one solar panel.
By combining each you get the best of both worlds, you can generate electricity with your turbine at night and with your solar panels on calm, sunny days.
So if you feel like freeing yourself, even just a little bit, from your utility company, you owe it to yourself to build your own wind turbines now. You'll be glad you did.

Putting these near the freeway is an excellent idea. The rushing cars are moving around them. It just makes sense to have several of these help power your house.

I think the biggest drawback of this is the massive loss of energy. Converting one form of energy to another is nowhere near perfect. If you can make electricity, the best way to make the best of that energy is by using something that runs off electricity.
I believe electrolysis is only about 60% efficient.
Also, notice that a lot of wind farms are spread out in unpopulated areas. There would be no benefit to having a hydrogen production building below each turbine. A better idea is just to route the power to a regular power plant that distributes it through the grid.

Hi bigrobotics,
Your absolutely correct, unfortunatley I need funding to have all testing done. I continue to ask the universe at all levels for help. I cannot wait to see the real results of our efforts. Somedays are very frustraiting and other are small victory days. Endevouring, and thanks.
