Admittedly I don't know much about the natural sciences. Its funny I thought that wind was a result of the interactions of the system of pressure gradients caused by the cyclic heating of the sun and the non uniform thermal coefficients of the different surfaces of the earth (i.e. land and water). What you seem to be saying is that wind is a result of the earth spinning.

its technically not renewable your taking away from the earths rotation by converting it into eletricity

check out my wind power vids...

Internationalist investors don't like wind/solar energy(Cheney HATES them!),they favor wind power over solar because it can be worked onto the "grid". At first, few people would have their own wind turbines. Their big fear is that, once these sources of energy evolve, self contained units will take people off the energy circuit, dratically lowering profits.Investors support nuclear, gas, oil and coal. Anything that can be served to the public from a central point for a set fee...owned by them.

Great video! This is the future right here. I like the way you kept it simple and in layman's terms.

It makes me wonder what kind of fool would oppose such a thing.

So cool I'm 49, And learn so much from you guys Thank-You. Keep up the good work, to bad my generation used up our resources, the future of man kind should be in better shape

Well . . . if you are into projects like these you might consider that not everything is about money. i.e. We do not currently have the technology to offer people the opportunity to buy cleaner air. However I have a video which shows the overview of how the energy savings relate to average wind speed and turbine power ratings. Thanks for the comment!

Please explain the economics a bit; how much do you save with this setup?
