The Advantages
and Disadvantages Of Wind Power For The Homemade Power
Plant
The advantages and disadvantages of wind
power as a means to satisfy some or all of your own
electricity needs are somewhat out of balance. Today the
positives far out way the negatives thanks to current
technology and quality homemade windmill
plans.
No longer do you have to feel like a helpless victim of the
escalating cost of energy because dramatically cutting your
electricity bill is finally in your control.
Consider the following if you are thinking about utilizing wind
generated electricity. Earth4Energy
The
Advantages of Wind Power:
- Reduces or even eliminates the cost of
electricity
- Reduces dependence on power companies
- Excess electricity produced can be sold back to the
power company at a profit
- Allows you to tap into the abundance of free renewable
wind energy that is literally in-your-face everyday
- It is good for the environment because windmills
produce no polluting exhaust
- It helps our country reduce its dependence on foreign
oil
- Building a windmill can be a family bonding experience
that can teach our next generation that everyone can have a
significant impact on cutting energy costs while improving
our environment
- The cost to operate a windmill is very low
- The simple design of a wind turbine means low
maintenance costs - just install it and forget it.
- The cost to build your own windmill can be as low as
$200 if you have the right windmill plans that outline
where to find low cost and free sources for materials

The
Disadvantages of Wind Power:
- It is weather dependent - no wind
equals no electricity
- There is a dependence on the zoning rules of each
community
- Purchasing commercial pre-build wind turbine systems
can be costly and require 8 or more years to pay back the
initial investment
The solution for inconsistent wind is often solved by
storing the windmill generated electricity in a battery bank.
This combined with a hybrid system that also uses solar panels
and has access to power off the grid will insure a continuous
stream of power.
Recently it has become possible to reduce the high initial
cost of owning a home windmill to about $200 with a payback in
just a few weeks to a few months. The secret to this dramatic
cost reduction is in learning how to build a windmill as
described in a few of the best illustrated windmill plans. The
really good ones are written by authors the have spent a great
deal of time learning to exploit the advantages of windmill
power while solving most of the disadvantages.

This is an instantly
downloadable step by step manual for inexpensively building,
(as low as $200 each), your own electricity generating solar
panels and windmill.
After I purchased the Earth4Energy eBook
I was able to read through the entire manual in one evening.
This practical, hands-on manual is designed to quickly get
you started building. No unnecessary technical jargon is
offered.
It is very specific with lots of helpful and easy to
understand diagrams and photos, (with only a few exceptions).
The information is very specific and yet allows for adjustment
if the parts you obtain vary from the author’s example.
At the time of this review, I tracked down the recommended
used and free parts sources and found them to be easily
available as promised.
I like the fact that the Earth4Energy manual
is constantly being updated. Refinements and tips are
available free on the Earth4Energy website
to anyone that purchases their manual.
UPDATE: The
Earth4Energy Company has begun to produce a whole series of
short and focussed videos that show critical details for
building windmills and solar panels.
Some of the initial videos show the essential methods and
tricks for easily soldering electrical leads to the individual
solar cells as well as exactly how to connect all
the cells in an entire panel. These and future videos on
windmill construction are available on a special "members only"
webpage that is available at no extra charge to anyone that
buys the main eBook.
I have increased this program's rating from 9.0 to 9.7
because of these instructional videos. Earth4Energy is now my highest rated
program.
