subject: Home Wind Turbine Energy Is Here To Stay And Here Is Why [print this page] Home wind turbine supplied energy is on the upswing and will be a part of the energy landscape in America from here on out. For as long as the wind is blowing we will have wind turbines and even if we come up with a supply of energy that replaces the current fossil fuels that we burned, wind energy will still be popular because it will supply free power to us once the device is initially paid for.
These are the reasons why home wind turbine power will be around from now on...
Home wind turbine kits are inexpensive - The wind turbines that we use in homes these days are very price and cost effective. There are so many of these devices out in the field now and very many manufacturers that have gotten onboard and started to make them. This is all led to a general depression in prices to the benefit of the consumer. You can actually buy a wind turbine that will produce energy for you for less than $500 nowadays. While of course you will have to install this device yourself, your upfront cost will be very low for acquiring the piece of equipment.
Fossil fuel prices are always headed upwards - Because our current sources of fuel are a finite quantity, the prices for a gallon of gasoline and for a ton of coal are going to go nowhere but up. This is a classic case of supply and demand and energy is no different than any other commodity. We know that the prices will go up in the short term and they will eventually go a lot higher in the long-term. Many people have predicted $20 gallon gasoline for some time now. We're seeing the general creep of prices at this point in 2012, but we know the prices will be going higher as these fuels become less and less available.
Central utility power plants are causing too much pollution - The power plants that produce all of the electricity we use now are putting out the majority of the pollution that is clogging up our skies. There is really no way around this even if we install elaborate scrubbing devices on the towers that send out all this nasty smoke into the atmosphere. There's just no way to incinerate all of the harmful particles and therefore we end up breathing them. This causes a lot of respiratory disease and problems all over the planet and is the main reason we need residential wind turbines now more than ever.
In summary, the home wind turbine will be supplying at least some of our power for the rest of time.
