Wind Power For The Average American
With both environmental and economic concerns leading the quest for renewable forms of alternative energy, a number of Americans have begun looking for ways to reduce their dependence on oil and coal-based energy. Though biodiesel, solar panels, and hydroelectric dams are currently the most well-known forms of alternative energy available, wind power is quickly becoming a viable alternative used both as a supplement to an external electrical supply and as a primary source of power. Though you might think that wind power requires acres of expensive wind turbines in order to produce energy, it can also be personalized for individual home or business use.
Wind power has traditionally been produced in large amounts by wind farms, which are the stereotypical large turbines that many people associate with renewable wind energy. While these large wind farms and their offshore cousins are very useful for reducing the carbon footprint of the areas that they provide power for, that form of wind power production just isn’t feasible for the average American. A home wind generator can generally be purchased for less than the cost of a comparable solar energy kit, allowing you to produce the energy that you need to reduce your energy costs for less. A larger home wind generator system can even be created so that you can live completely off grid with wind power if you so choose.

I agree with your thoughts and found this information helpful. I recently was that average american who went ahead and purchased a small residental wind turbine for my home and today believe it was the best investment I have ever made.
