With home energy prices going through the roof in many cases, it is only natural that people would start seriously considering residential wind turbine power as a way to hedge against those price increases. There are 3 distinct advantages that residential wind turbine power has over the rest of the options out there and this is why it will always work, regardless of what other forms of power generation become available in the future... Clean energy with no pollution - We often forget about the fact that renewable energy sources do not create any pollution. Not only do they not create pollution by the power that they make in the way that they make it, but also by the fact that when you use renewable energy you are not having to buy power from a facility that is making it using carbon-based fuels, like fossil fuel power. Pollution is a huge problem in many areas of the world. In our largest cities, pollution is a daily fact of life that is being dealt with on many fronts. By focusing on wind energy and other renewable sources we have the potential to displace a large portion of the power that we now buy from smoke emitting power plants and replace that with clean energy that happens to also be free. Intermittent source, but the power created can be stored - It goes without saying that renewable energy sources are intermittent. That just goes with the territory-if the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing there is no way to extract power from either of those sources. However, our compensation mechanism is the battery. Battery systems attached to home wind turbine products allow them to store energy during times when power cannot be created from the wind real-time. Wind will always blow - This is the greatest thing about the renewable energy product. The wind is always available to blow and make power for you at least to some degree at some time of day. Even if it is a very low velocity, the wind is available. It might be diffused and not visible if you are talking about an area very close to your house. However, make no mistake about it, there is wind available the higher up you go. As you get over the tree line for example, wind is almost always available. In summary, residential wind turbine strength will provide lots of power for homeowners for years to come.
