Household Wind Turbines: 3 Ways They Help You

Getting household wind turbines to make power at your home can help you in 3 major ways

1. Reduce your total power cost - By installing wind generation capacity at your home you are avoiding having to purchase a portion of your power requirements from your local public or private utility. There is little doubt that your local utility is generating its power from fossil fuels, like coal. Being a publicly traded commodity, coal prices change all of the time and since it is a commodity of limited supply (we aren't making any more of it) the price for power derived from coal will always be heading upwards. It is not uncommon for you to be able to charge a set of batteries or a single device and thereby offset at least some of those power company costs, like a freezer, with your home wind turbine. It is a lot more uncommon but certainly possible to power your whole house.

2. Make you more Green - By not purchasing as much power from your local utility, that makes its power by burning fossil fuels, you are making a significant contribution to making the world a more Green place to live. As long as we are making centralized power this way, we will have to live with the environmental ramifications of the pollution such power plants put out. Wherever you fall on the continuum of debate about Global Warming, no one argues anymore about the deleterious effects of the pollution these power plants produce. Making your life less dependent on power from a utility will make your life Greener and more sustainable.

3. Make you more independent of your utility - We all know that power produced in central plants is costly and getting more so. We also now that those facilities are dependent on suppliers of their fuel sources to continue to function. That dynamic produces dependence on those sources, many of whom are in the Middle East and do not necessarily see American economic prosperity in the same positive light we do. If you start to wean yourself off of public power and onto wind energy, you will be a lot less dependent on that area of the world and its complicated political situation.

In summary, household wind turbines are not for everyone but if you qualify, you can save a lot of money and become a better citizen of the planet. In the future, we will all be forced to consider all available measures to reduce costs. Public utilities, with their centrally located power production model that relies on single types of fossil fuels, will continue their inexorable rise in prices, so we have to react now.
