Our President-elect has promised to spend $150 billion over the next 10 years to support alternative energy, “This is a crucial step forward,” The problem is, it won’t be enough !
The best choices when it comes to home power are solar and wind power. These count for only 0.2% of the energy that is consumed. There are three renewable energy resources, solar energy, wind power and geothermal energy. “A significant advantage of the use of renewable energy systems,” is that they are environmentally friendly because they result in lower dangerous pollutant emissions, and they are essentially inexhaustible.”
Some ways in which renewable energy can be made to work in rural applications include:
* Providing hot water for home and farm use
* Pumping water for livestock
* Powering automatic gate openers, aeration fans in grain storage bins and automatic supplement feeders
* Powering security and task lighting, as well as entrance signs
* Powering buildings and operating labor-saving equipment far from utility lines
* Helping protect users from electricity price spikes, brownouts, rolling blackouts and other grid-related reliability and supply security issues
* Avoiding the high costs of extending power lines to remote locations
* Producing 5 kilowatts to 5 megawatts of power using small modular biomass power systems.
“In many cases, renewable energy systems provide the cheapest and most reliable way to meet the electricity needs of farms and ranches,” said a top engineer . “Installing a solar or wind energy system is often cheaper than running a new power line if electricity is needed one-quarter mile or more away from an existing power line.”
Most people don’t know about the benefits of generating renewable energy themselves. Seven reasons you need your own Home made energy
1. You will save hundreds of dollars a month… and thousands of dollars a year… for the rest of your life…
2. You will help our environment and maybe more and more people will follow us in supporting the future of Earth…
3. You will have a lot of fun in building your own power systems. You can do it with your close friends and family during a week-end and everyone will enjoy it…
4. You will be able to go completely off-grid if you want, knowing that rising energy prices will not affect you…
5. You will be able to make the electricity company pay you, because the surplus of what you produce will make the meter go the other way, in case you want to stay on-grid…
6. You will be able to protect your pocket book during these recession times and spend money on more important things…
7. You will feel very good because you know you have done something great
93.9% of the energy that is consumed by US is NOT from renewable sources.The best choices when it comes to home power are solar and wind power. These count for only 0.2% of the energy that is consumed. With the ever increasing costs of living, there is no better time than right now to stop throwing money out the window and start generating your own electricity.
