subject: Wind Energy Turbine: 3 Reasons For Their Recent Popularity [print this page] Wind energy turbine sales have gone up drastically recently. Even though these products have been available on the market for years, only in the last few years have they become something that people of both major political parties would seriously consider.
The reasons for wind energy turbine popularity are many but these are the 3 main ones
Impending shortage of traditional fuels used to make electricity - The fuel sources in the Middle East and elsewhere were all generated millions of years ago and are of a finite quantity. And, we are burning them up at a very rapid pace. Once they are gone there will be no more. Although it is unlikely that we will completely deplete these resources, it is a lot more likely that we will just not be able to afford them. As the quantities and availability go down, the price will commensurately go up. This is a major contributor to why home wind turbine projects are increasing in popularity in recent years.
Climate change debate - While we do not know precisely the science behind climate change, we do know enough to know that contributions to pollution made by central utility processing plants are a major contributor to the destruction of protective gases in the atmosphere. The debate as to how much impact and whether it is all negative or some positive will continue for years and years, but we do know that there is a environmental vector here as well. The pollution these plants cause is making the air a lot more difficult to breathe. Therefore, the door is wide open for renewable projects of all kinds and especially wind energy turbine projects.
Discussion of Green issues in the popular press - While just a few years ago the majority of conservative voters would not be caught dead with anything green, now this topic is one that everyone is discussing and everyone is trying to take part in, in some way. By taking advantage of home wind turbine power you are making a major contribution to the cause. The ultimate green strategy is of course to avoid doing the things that cause pollution and destruction of the planet in the first place.
In the final analysis, wind energy turbine sales will only continue to grow for years yet to come. None of these issues are going away anytime soon and they will probably increase in intensity short-term.
