Wind Turbine Explosion!

This footage is fascinating.  Sort of scary and unbelievable at the same time.  The tower was almost 200 feet tall and the turbines were moving close to 70 mph.  The whole thing just disintegrates, which isn't what you want to see or hear about, especially with the capital investment required to get a wind turbine installed.  In an unrelated story, Suzlon Energy installed some wind turbines in the Midwest that have been breaking down due to the cold weather (see link below), which is probably contributing to a declining stock price.

Wind energy isn't worth the problems. It also is only good when the wind blows. Geothermal is a much more viable option.

Some amazing facts about Wind Power…

Myth #1 Wind turbines are very noisy. This is not true at all. In fact wind turbines are very quiet. The truth is your kitchen refrigerator may make more noise than these wind turbines.

Myth #2 Your Wind Turbine will affect your television.. This is not true as well. I will teach you where to place your turbine in order not to have this happen. With the right tools and instructions you will be an expert in no time, not to mention watching your favorite TV. show.

Myth #3 Wind Turbines don’t really produce enough power. In fact Wind Turbines can produce upwards of 85% power 24/7. Not even your power company produces 100% of power 24 hours a day.

“YOU CAN BUILD A BRAND NEW WIND TURBINE!”

Domestic wind turbines are starting to show up in folks backyards just like you and me, plus they are starting to be seen all over the country. Some people are starting to understand all of the benefits of installing and setting up their own domestic wind turbine. This alternative is also used by business, renewable energy is not only good for the environment but, also it’s less denting on the pocketbook when the time comes to pay the monthly electric bill. With the fluctuation of the economy and the total chaos of fuel prices, it’s easy to see why some people are looking for a little security whether it be with there own built turbines or used wind turbines.

Listed are some of the benefits of Domestic wind turbines

Eliminating your dependence on the power company and saving money is a major advantage.

You will have the security of knowing that if something happens to the grids in your area, you will still have electricity for your family and you, today some of the power grids around outdated and obsolete.

When you supply your own clean energy, it simply means that much less fossil fuels will not have to be burned in order to supply electricity. Future generations and global warming is obvious for this type of project, this is a positive factor for the planet.
