Wind Power Technology

Off grid wind power systems often cost about 30% more than on-grid systems.

Residential wind power helps the environment in ways of pollution, because there is no output of pollution from a wind turbine.

It is a simple idea, to make electricity from wind. But there are other uses for wind power as well. One of the earliest, original uses of wind was of course to power boats.

Wind power is expected to fall to around 2¢ per kWh by 2005.

Technological advances make it more and more feasible to install wind power generators for individual homes.

During the lifetime of a wind turbine, the wind turbine can prevent 1.2 metric ton in air pollutants. This alone will help preserve the planet for future generations, especially our children.

Because wind power generation uses a natural and inexhaustible source of power to produce electricity, it should be considered an essential factor of any long-term energy plan.

The current issue is that one turbine generates quite a bit of energy, but not enough energy to make wind power cost acceptable. A considerable number of wind powered turbines need to be in place to make this happen.

Recent advances in technology have led to the appearance of large-scale wind farms, and it is these that governments are looking at as a solution to problems with increasing energy prices and climate change.

Interest in wind power is also growing in countries such as India and China, and Australia is paying increasing attention to the concept.
