Wind Power

"Lost time is never found again." Benjamin Franklin

Well if you can not come up with a solar power ceiling fan or want a different way of providing power to you ceiling fans would be wind power. These fans may or may not have to have a battery when the wind is not blowing enough to provide sufficient power for your fans, but I would think that something like that would be easy enough to come up with.

We often see giant wind turbines along the crests of hills and may or may not see them off the coast of Cape Cod, all of which depends on the “not in my back yard” syndrome. Why not have small systems for homes, systems that do not have to stick hundreds of feet above your home.

There has to be a way to have a small system that can be integrated into your home and look like it belongs there. What about the tops of barns or buildings in the cities. Can they be integrated into these taller structures which give them a better access to the wind? What about homes along the coasts providing their own power taking them off of the grid? Again, these systems do not have to provide the total power requirements of the facility they are attached to, but rather provide a sufficient percentage of the power to help pay for the system.

I know that if a “home” system can be developed that would provide heat for my home in the cooler months, which sometimes range from September to May in sunny Syracuse what would that mean for reduction of our carbon footprint, reliance on foreign oil and more money in my pocket.
