Thumbs up Supply Your Own Power From Wind And Solar

Using the combination of wind and solar you can actually supply almost 100% of your power usage. There is a product that can tell you how to build solar panels, windmills, and tell you how to set everything up. They even have a section telling you how to get free storage batteries for a battery bank. You really should check this out. It is a lot cheaper and easier than I thought it would be to make these items yourself. Do yourself and our planet a favor and check out Earth4Power.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I resent being sent to one of these "squeeze pages". This tends to render the information suspect, at best, and manipulative at face value!

Can you tell us more about the product and/or program here, at this forum?

I will be glad to disclose what I can without infringing on their rights. The information that is disclosed tells you how to determine what units to use in building a windmill for low wind, high wind etc. Like I said I can't go too far in depth without infringing. They also give you blueprints for building the items. And tell you what very cheap items you can use for different aspects of the project. Yes all of this information could be found on your own and you could trial and error the builds until you got one as good as their directions but I am telling you it is worth what they want to not have to do all the research and waste the materials trying different ideas. And what I thought was really worth the money was the information on how to get the free batteries. I don't know if you've ever bought any of these batteries before or not but I had to buy some for a golf cart and a motorhome here a while back and they are around 100$ a piece. I also don't think I would have liked trying to figure out how to wire all this in to work in my existing home without some directions. I don't know if this helped you or not but I hope it did if not write back again and I will try some more. I was reading some articles the other day about some various power companies and some will actually buy power from you if you are wired right and producing more than you use. Some will actually buy it from you for more per kw than you pay to get it from them pretty cool I thought. I like the idea so I am going to keep building. Have A green day and I hope this helped a little. I will check tommorow and see just what I can disclose without getting in trouble. But for now this is about the best I can do. Please respond.

Well, it certainly is an impressively put together website, I'll definitely say that. Since it appears to be commercial it will understandably explain things through a specific point of view, but that doesn't automatically mean it is not presenting authentic information. I'll peruse it more thoroughly. I like making wee animated "Suzy" plummet while she speaks, but I'm just mean that way.
