Wind turbine farms are springing up all over the country, not only here in the US but around the world. Lots of people seem to have problems with wind turbines, specially the giants that are used on wind farms.

This problem may be partially taken care of by moving those gigantic wind turbines out to sea. Sounds good doesn’t it? I sort of like the idea. The only problem I have with it is “How will offshore wind turbine farms save me money and will they be properly maintained to keep our oceans from being polluted?”

Here is an exert from an article posted on Scientific American:

The waters of the Jersey Shore may soon become home to the nation’s first deepwater wind turbines. New Jersey officials recently announced the state would help fund an initiative by Garden State Offshore Energy to build a 350-megawatt wind farm 16 miles (26 kilometers) offshore. The state wants by 2020 many more of these parks, at least 3,000 megawatts worth, or about 13 percent of the state’s total electricity needs.

“This is probably the first of many ambitious goals to be set by states,” says Greg Watson, a senior advisor on clean energy technology to the governor of Massachusetts. “Three thousand megawatts is significant. With that you’re able to offset or even prevent fossil fuel plants from being built.”

The federal government is about to open up to wind energy development vast swaths of deep ocean waters, and states and wind park developers are vying to be the first to seize the new frontier. Wind parks in these waters can generate more energy than near shore and onshore sites, they don’t ruin seascape views, and they don’t interfere as much with other ocean activities.

Now I don’t want you to get me wrong here because I think that offshore wind turbine farms are a great idea to reduce our dependence of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. I also think that you should get the benefit from free renewable wind and solar energy.

As a home owner that pays higher and higher electrical bills each month it is to your benefit to take the money you are spending on electricity as a monthly bill, like rent, and turn it into an investment that will give you a return, like home ownership.

By investing in wind and solar energy to power your home today, you are investing in something that will, over time, not only pay for itself but will, in time, give you completely free electrical power to run all the appliances in your home.

How would it feel to NOT have to pay an electrical bill every month? How much would it save you? Does that thought put a smile on your face?

In today’s world you have so many options available to you even if you are not mechanically inclines. You know that with step by step instructions you can do most anything. Also if you get into something you aren’t sure of it is easy to hire a handyman for a couple of days to help you finish a project.

By using the Free Energy Options manual to create your vertical wind turbines or solar power panels you save thousands of dollars. If you pay someone several hundred to help you do some of the things you aren’t comfortable doing you still save thousands.

You can build a 1,000 watt windmill for about $200. To fully power your home, supposing you had a steady 12 MPH wind and used between 1200 and 1500 KWH of electrical power each month, you would need 3 vertical wind turbines at 1,000 watts each or 15 solar panels at 200 watts each,

The thing is that you don’t have to do it all at one time. Also you only have to tie into your power grid once and then you tie everything else into the converter. Free Energy Options makes it easy, get your copy here.
