We are running out of fossil fuel energy and wind turbine kits provide a way to capitalize and turn a lemon into lemonade.
For the better part of the past century, we have been running all of our electrical appliances and electronics from power created at centrally driven power plants.
This has been a problem for several reasons:
The fuels we have used are becoming scarce. For the better part of this century we have used fossil fuels to supply the raw materials needed to make electric power. As we are quickly learning the supplies are not only not limitless but they are dwindling at a very rapid pace. With Third World countries and developing nations consuming more and more energy in order to fuel a westernized lifestyle, we are seeing the depletion of those resources accelerate at a staggering pace. We can't get this genie back in the bottle. We are going to have to find a new source of energy that can develop power with infrastructure week currently have. We cannot count on a Steve Jobs figure out there that may be working on a radical solution in their garage. The well-being of our society as we know it is too dependent on electricity for us to do that.
These fuels are also causing a lot of pollution. The other huge downside of this fuel source is the pumping of carbon into the atmosphere. Back the 1970s we call this air pollution but now we refer to it as a greenhouse gas that is warming the climate too quickly. The carbon cycle power takes care of things in the long run - carbon is moved from the atmosphere back into the plants which it then recycles and the earth, which then eventually turns again into the fuel that can be consumed an electricity producing plant. The short-term is the real issue here. With the rapid expansion of westernized society and developing nations, we are sending way too much carbon in the atmosphere for our ecosystem to process effectively.
We are totally beholden to foreign powers that would like to see us die. In the last decade is come abundantly clear that the people that have oil don't like us. They are in a position to wreak economic havoc upon westernized society. The world oil culture is one that steeped in violence and deep-seated societal problems that go back thousands of years. It is unlikely that we will be able to intervene and solve these problems short-term or long-term. The solution is really just not to need them anymore to fund our economic life anymore.
By moving to wind turbine kits at our homes where day centralizing the production of energy and no longer depending on centrally produce power to maintain our electronically driven lifestyles.
With wind turbine kits though, we can begin to break that cycle. Using them will allow us to make much of our energy at home and no longer rely on centralization to meet all of our needs.
