Part of a growing trend, a Danish family of seven has installed its own wind turbine to produce all the electricity the family needs while reducing its carbon footprint. |

Your commment …
Your commment reflects the maturity level of a small child.
He is saving the planet and attempting to show idiots like you that if we all did this our world would be much better off.
Unless of course you still want to buy oil from countries that use that money to support an agenda of your destruction.

Who are these …
Who are these people who show up with mindless pro fossil fuel industry comments and who is bankrolling them?
Private distributed power as most know is the ultimate freedom and the cost will be below fossil fuel energy within the next five years.
Finaly!

The total cost …
The total cost would be diminished by selling excess power back to the utility company and the saved dollars that would have been paid for the electricity. Yes – it’s called an “investment.” It could take a while for it to pay off in the long run but it’s a reliable investment provided the wind continues to blow, which it will.

As a lawyer, I could give a what a TV producer thinks about anything. Your comment didn’t tell us anything except that you are a whiny little who loves the sound of his own voice.

Green energy is the …
Green energy is the best way to put your local blood sucking utility out of business. The cost of energy is astronomical because of big for-profit business. Sadly, green energy is actually illegal in most cities in N. America.

Makes me want to take a 30 min hot shower and drive my SUV for an extra 100 miles b/c this nut thinks he is saving the planet. Makes my conscience feel good.

Even if that were true, it would still deplete finite resources, and we need to jump to more lasting energy producing trends

As an English speaker, your sentence looks like it was put together by a group of handicapped chimps. Shaky grammar, random punctuation and an over-developed sense of self-importance.

As a TV Producer, …
As a TV Producer, that was really poorly put together. Shaky camera work, uninspired copy for the voiceover talent, jumpy editing. And it really didn’t tell us any legitimate story – ‘a few thousand dollars?’. What does that mean?
November 7th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
The quote was “But …
The quote was “But materials ALONE start at a few thousand dollars US.” Hence the total cost would be higher, not just a “few thousand dollars.” And note that the commentator is NOT referring to the commercial wind turbines shown in a few shots, but rather the smaller, two-bladed residential wind turbine the subject is using.

@GuppyPal
Hate to break it to you, but steam is what’s used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant, just the same as coal. Only thing that’s the different is the process to generate the steam.

Is it just …
Is it just coincidence that they never mentioned how much this cost to set up?
November 7th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
yeah, it’s just …
yeah, it’s just because of lobbyists. We created an atomic bomb over 60 years ago, yet we’re still using steam to generate electricity. I guarentee we could have an energy revolution if we wanted and the government got behind it.
