 Should I Buy a Wind Turbine?

We always recommend that you have a licensed Electrician do your grid hook-ups.
The
fact of the matter is, you will save money on your electric bill by installing Wind and/or Solar Power, no doubt about it.
But is the length of time for a payback really that important? What is the price tag for doing the right thing? What is the
cost of preserving our natural resources?
Let's put it another way...Do you own a second home? Do you have
a boat or a snowmobile? Did you consider a payback when you purchased those? How about those season tickets? Did you buy a
riding mower when a push mower would do? No monetary payback there! The point is...you know there will be a payback, so why
worry about the "When"? Start saving NOW!!!

Aren't There Incentives to Install Wind Turbines?
