Wind Power – Renewable Energy for Your Home

Not only is the United States government getting into the act of using renewable energy sources, but today's major corporations are being motivated to latch onto this amazing renewable energy source. You and I know it as the common every day breeze, which blows around us, when we step outside our home or place of business. Just think about it for a minute and you will soon realize you have taken advantage of this renewable wind power source your whole life.

If you enjoy going sailing, you simply hoist the sail on your ketch or a much bigger sloop and off you go. As a matter of fact wind power was the only power known to mankind for thousands of centuries. Then when you stop and think about it, when you were just a kid, you found yourself using the blowing breeze to cool yourself down. In fact the only air conditioner for everyone was the wind. 

Now thanks to new technology, not only can you use the breeze again for cooling your home, but you can use it to furnish the majority of the electrical power you need to run the lights, appliances, heating and air conditioning units in your home.

If you noticed I used the term new technology above, but really this technology has been around for more years than you and I can count. Do you know what it's called? Sure you do, the "Windmill", “Wind Turbine” or Wind Machine.  Giant corporations such as Johnson and Johnson, Wal-Mart and many others are contracting with private “Wind Farms” or building their own wind farm to power their factories and retail outlets.

But the great thing is you and I can take advantage of this phenomenal source of wind power. Depending where you live it is possible for you to have your very own wind turbine. In fact if you install one you may be able to sale your excess power back to the electrical company for a profit.
