subject: Residential Wind Turbines: 3 Ways It Will Destroy Your Utility [print this page] With residential wind turbines becoming somewhat mainstream these days, the topic is coming up as to whether or not your current utility will cease to be relevant soon. These utility companies were created for the most part in the early to middle part of the last century in an era when fossil fuels were thought to be limitless.
Now, that is no longer the case. We know for a fact that that only a few more generations will be able to burn them at all to create power for their homes. We also know that the pollution they cause is destroying a lot more than just the air that we breathe and that it is also wreaking havoc on the protective gases in our atmosphere that are keeping the planet from overheating.
These are the 3 ways the residential wind turbine and especially the wind turbine kit will be responsible for destroying the need for the local utilities we have come to rely on for our home electricity...
The energy the residential wind turbine creates is free - This is almost unbelievable when you really think about it. You are spending your money once for the wind device and then from then on you receive your power to your house, or at least the power for appliance or a small pump, indefinitely into the future with very little cost involved in maintaining this system.
The technology that creates the power is becoming more and more efficient and can produce power in lower wind situations and locations - There is an awful lot of money being spent on improving the efficiency of the home wind turbine. A lot of that attention is being focused on the rotor blades and aerodynamic and weight qualities of them. As more and more money is spent, the technology will improve and this will cause prices to drop. As prices drop, these devices will be available to more and more people which will spawn even more cost concessions by manufacturers and more competition.
No need for overhead wires with a distributed generation system like the one the home wind turbine provides - The overhead wires that we count on to deliver power to our homes from central generating facilities will no longer be needed.
In conclusion, the home wind turbine or residential wind turbines as it is often called, will do away with the need for the local utility that has supplied power for most of our lives.
