Wind the future source of electricity | 1-855-wanna-reno?


WIND GENERATORS        www.1855wannareno.com

Wind is free and with modern technology it can be captured efficiently. Once a wind turbine is built the energy it produces does not cause green house gases or other pollutants. Although wind turbines can be very tall each takes up only a small plot of land. This means that the land below can still be used. This is especially the case in agricultural areas as farming and grazing can still continue. Many people find wind farms an interesting feature of the landscape, views of wind turbines can be awe inspiring, to say the least.. Remote areas that are not connected to the electricity power grid can use wind turbines to produce their own supply. Wind turbines have a role to play in both the developed and third world countries. Wind turbines are available in a range of sizes which means a vast range of people and businesses can use them. Single households to small towns and villages can make good use of range of wind turbines available today.

In addition, wind energy can provide new sources of income in rural areas, as well as jobs for people who set up and maintain wind turbines or manage wind farms. Employment opportunities range from meteorologists and surveyors to structural engineers, assembly workers, and mechanical operators. Statistics show that every Megawatt of new wind capacity creates nearly twenty jobs.



Some of the concerns raised about wind turbines are not true. Wind turbines are not, as many people believe, dangerous to birds. A sliding glass door is more dangerous to birds than a small wind turbine. Wind turbines also have a very low potential to interfere with radio and television reception. All modern turbines, large and small, have blades made of fibreglass or wood. These materials are transparent to electromagnetic waves such as radio and television.

Your neighbours' concerns relating to wind turbine noise are important. No matter the size of the wind turbine, the potential for turbine noise to bother other people always exists. Even if a wind turbine does not emit enough sound to violate any noise regulations, the noise it produces may still be objectionable to other people.

The major challenge to using wind as a source of power is that it is intermittent and does not always blow when electricity is needed. Wind cannot be stored (although wind-generated electricity can be stored, if batteries are used), and not all winds can be harnessed to meet the timing of electricity demands. Further, good wind sites are often located in remote locations far from areas of electric power demand (such as cities). Finally, wind resource development may compete with other uses for the land, and those alternative uses may be more highly valued than electricity generation. However, wind turbines can be located on land that is also used for grazing or even farming.

Beside the disadvantages, we can conclude that this could be just another way to complement the energy generation plan of any country. Home wind generators can generate enough to reduce the pollution in the future. Something to consider because every single country is trying to get more energy to keep growing.

Are green homes a good invesment? | 1-855-wanna-reno.?


www.1855wannareno.com .....Lets help our planet!

According to a green home poll last year by TD Canada Trust, 72 per cent of Canadians are willing to pay more for a house or condo with environmentally friendly features. That statistic would seem to contradict the findings of the Leger poll. But take a closer look: Of these big spenders, more than three-quarters (77 per cent) are primarily motivated by savings on energy bills, with only 42 per cent appreciating the reduction of environmental impact. Green homes aren't necessarily selling to environmentalists; they're selling to the financially savvy.

As for the issue of availability, that one will resolve itself over time. Government standards are rising, builders are becoming more astute and consumers are gradually learning to view the initial premium as an investment. Eventually, purchasing an energy-efficient home will seem as natural as tossing an empty soup can into the recycling bin.

These days, with so many builders touting themselves as green, they can begin to blur together in the eyes of buyers. When a builder markets his homes as environmentally friendly because they feature water-saving toilets and high-efficiency gas furnaces, that's a problem: You'd be hard-pressed to find a new home without these features.

Given the choice of a home that meets minimum governmental requirements for environmental considerations and another that exceeds them, all other things being equal, most of us will choose the green home and feel good about it.

But the reality is that all other things aren't equal. If the greener home means more money at the outset, which it sometimes does, it might mean sacrificing square footage or high-end finishes. (or am i wrong?)

We know about all these green ideas but if  they don't have a development in our preferred location, chances are we'll move along to someone who does.
