Corporate Vs Small Wind Energy
March 5th, 2010
Domestic Wind Power.
the all-to-renowned solar panel that has become an every-day topic is also one of the most utilised suppliers of alternative energy. However, to compliment this, growing numbers are also looking at small wind energy projects that will not only compliment this system, but is also adapted to different weather conditions required for the functionality of solar. You will need to have an acre of land. If you have one acre then you are then able to install a five kilowatt small wind energy generator that will stand around double the height of a telegraph pole for around $25,000. Although a sound option for the environment, not good news for ROI (return on investment) enthusiasts. Some states already have a system of tax credits and rebates for this type of installation. The theory being that any extra energy generated is fed back to the grid and obversely the utility company can still provide your needs on calmer days.

If you don’t happen to live on a small-holding or ranch then you can still perhaps benefit by
tilising local buildings such as churches or schools that usually have the requisite land area. The ever-growing popularity of small wind energy stems from it’s environmentally friendliness and cost saving benefits. A Small Wind Energy World Summit takes place in March (2010) in Husum Germany. The most important event when it come to small wind energy as it’s more a community theme than corporate and looks towards a cleaner,
cheaper and reliable source of energy.
Wind Resource Rights. Will regulation determine “wind rights”? Here’s a review of a small wind energy Community Project that will explain.
Fossil fuel energy will prove to be more expensive than wind energy in the futre. Consider that $120 billion is spent producing fossil fuels yearly and the
causing so much damage to the environment, so how will oil companies continue their monoploy? They may be considering to invest in alternative energy technology if they find their monolpoly disintergrating. Stanford University claim that the energy that can be harnessed from wind resources can provide all our needs seven times over, according to one of their studies.
Community Interests vs Corporate.
Wind industry experts claim that the wind industry itself grew five-fold during the 2000 and 2007 period alone. A global investment of $36 billion has already been made so far. The predicted growth of small wind resources over the next decade is fourfold. Lobbying is sure to proceed on the basis of pursuading governments to implement tax and other benefits for those switching to wind energy. A community project will avoid monopolies and over-regulation from over-charging the consumer.
We are now witnessing the growth of a more economical and abundant source of green power – small wind energy.
Don’t forget – take a look at this excellent review about a particular small wind energy system.
