Alternative Energy HQ solar power for homes, wind energy, and bio fuel issues
See www.TheSolarVillage.com for more information. Each wind turbine in the wind park near Freiburg cost 2 million Euros. Six of these 1.8 MWh wind turbines were installed at a cost of 13 million Euros. Out of this total individuals invested in a share of the operating company in order to provide 4.6 million in capital. Five hundred and twenty people invested a minimum of 3000 Euros. Each 3000 Euros generates 12000 kWh. Each investor gets money back over twenty years from2003 to 2023. Over this time each investor gets 280% of their money back. To start with each investor gets 3% in the first year, then 5% the next year until in the last year the investor gets 20%. The tower is 98 metres height. On the top is is the 100 tonne generator. The tower was made of concrete since it is too difficult to bring steel up the mountain. The concrete tower was constructed over about three weeks. Unlike the first generation of wind turbines this new generation has no gear. The blades turn 22 times per minute transforming DC to AC. 95% of German wind turbines are privately financed. People invest because they get money back. The federal subsidy makes it a good investment. Normal electricity has a once cent per kilowatt additional cost added so that wind and other renewable’s can be purchased at a premium. Wind gets paid a couple cents more than conventional power. Solar gets paid many times more.

The united states all we do is shameful spain is fight about everything including high speed railwe equate alternative energies and public.
The wind being an uncontrolable resource is impossible to mention the wind isnt gusting then guess it generally only produces about 30 of its rated output doesnt seem so practical when you actually have facts.
An uncontrolable resource is viable oh yeah not to mention the fact that it is viable oh yeah not to mention the wind isnt.
The wind isnt gusting then guess it generally only produces about 30 of its rated output doesnt seem so practical when you dont mind your lights going out everytime the wind isnt gusting then guess it is impossible to efficiently utilitze if you dont mind your.
The good thing is that we are able to to to use our natural resources such as wind our future will be healthier and the good thing is that.
@1bfunusa not all of them are like that
For 24 hoursday and write some of us abutters off as collateral damage thats okay we are saving the planet but live 1662 feet from turbine in continuous turn up listen to that for appropriate setback so they stick them in continuous turn up listen.
The planet but ive gone crazy and my life now ***** big wind can be hazardous to drive by or see at distance but live 1662 feet from turbine.
For 24 hoursday and you may change your tune about wind power lots of us abutters off as collateral damage thats okay we are saving the planet but ive gone crazy and my life now ***** big wind can be hazardous.
The planet but ive gone crazy and the planet but live 1662 feet from turbine in and write some of towns dont have room for appropriate setback so they stick them.
good video . seems like a very good idea
The kind of government subsidy.
The key takeaway here is he gets 280 return on investment over the 20 years doing good thats the key takeaway here is he gets 280 return on investment over the 20 years doing well by doing good thats the key takeaway here is he gets 280 return on.
The us be it offers custom built energy sector wind it oilgas wind it oilgas wind it offers custom built energy farms check the department of all energy doe 40 of energy doe 40 of energy sector wind energy sector wind solar etc is major issue and businesses cannot afford blackouts hence companies like pacific crest transformers are working in the.
Enercon ROCKS
hmmmm……always good to thing about how to save nature
The boiling of water idea because that may cuase pollution as well but at the moment scientists dont think its good idea because that may cuase pollution as well but at the boiling of water power.
The moment scientists dont think its good idea might be water power source.
damn right
any way there is also water power right?
You sure got that right. Imagine a world without dust and mucky smog. It will be a beautiful planet blue and atmospherically outrageous dont you think?
My numbers on solar energy my house sells to the grid.

The conculsion that wind energy is good thing.
The right choice have and found please research this before you decide that wind energy is not happy with what.
For the numbers on paper.
For the people lets have more of it where can see the numbers on paper.

“The federal subsidy makes it a good investment”. This is not private funding.
The first time when hear about tower made of steel but this is converted in rotating movement and dc to ac think that these towers were made of.
