Wind power rocks!

anyone who still thinks windmill farms are a good idea for the people should stop and ask themselves why then, doesn't the government make it possible for us to have them at our homes? why aren't they affordable for the home user?

oh, that's right. we're still slaves. and I guess we always will be with some of the attitudes some people have about things.

yay, go windfarm! my tax dollars just saved the utility company big bucks so they can continue raping me for a so-called necessity.

use less energy. continue asking why we don't have alternative energy sources more readily available. and keep pushing those who do have them for the info so we can have them as well.

christ, it's been years now since solar panels have been around, you would think we could buy enough to roof our homes and run all of our appliances for $1 a piece "made in china" panels.

so yea, if any of you have any alternative energies in place at your homesteads, and it didn't cost you a kidney, please send me a PM so I can be enlightened with your technique. I'd like to get off the grid.

 

My sisters friend powers their entire house with one windmill. I dont think it would cost too much, you could make it your self.

And by the way, my school is switching to wind power. At least its a start you know? But we need more.

 

I look out across the valley to a hill full of windmills. Clean energy Clean air and a cleaner future for our kids

 

ha ha, the title to this thread is "Wind Power Rocks" and it seems as if it rocks in more than one way if the vibrations are proving to be such an important factor.


Yesterday I encountered another factor that has to do with the anchoring and excavations needed to put windmills into place. A large scale installation is being planned for Scotland and there are many archaeologists concerned that invaluable (and yet to be discovered) relics will be destroyed.

The ocean platforms discussed here are a bit like the thoughts expressed in the Scotland thread but the ocean turbines might be better suited to placement below the suface of the ocean. then the ocean currents would power them. I was told by an alternative energy salesman that hydro power is rather superior. he said if you utilized one creek, then the output would be plenty enough not only for yourself, but also enough to sell to your neighbors.

of course, we'd have to fish around for a solution to the fish factor so that they would not suffer the same fate as the bats and raptors.
