Gene; Get your electric bill out and study it and you will answer your own question. There should be a bar graph showing your last 12 months of usage, plus a block showing your average daily killowatt consumption. Most homes use more than this turbine is producing. That's why we are adding 2300Ws of PV next spring. Anyone who thinks they can make money overproducing electricity to "sell Back" to the utility to make money is going to be saddly disapointed. (sell back $.03?/ KWH--- Buy $.12?/KWH). First find ways to reduce your consumption, (turn off lights behind your self, buy energy efficient appliances and heating equip.) Then if so inclined, buy a renewable generation system that will produce -100% of your current consumption, if the budget allows. First thing you need to determin is if you have suficient resources of sun, wind, or water. That's your fuel. Limited fuel, limited energy production. Renewable fuels, unlike fosil fuels are unpredictable. A gal. of oil or a # of coal have a known BTU output to power a heater or generator. We can't make the wind blow at 15MPH for 10 hrs each day or force the sun to shine 10hrs. at max intensity every day. Hydro is more predictable with only seasonal changes in energy potential, but only a few people have a good source of flowing water. The whole renewable industry is based on educated guesses, rather than known mathimatical equasions, relating BTUs to energy production. Many of those who invest in renewables are also conserned with the enviroment as well as economic gain when in this scale of energy production. Comercial Wind Electric generation is a totally different animal. Huge amounts of money are spent on years of testing and documentation when siting a wind farm. The power tipically goes to City Centers where there will never be anything but increased consumption.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
