Wind Energy
Wind energy is an abundant resource that has been used to drive economies for centuries. Only
recently, though, has it become a large producer of electricity for the world. While still
producing less than 1% of the total electricity needed, wind has become a major source of energy
production in countries such as Germany.
In the United States many states offer rebates and incentives towards the purchase of a wind
turbine, making it a real alternative to buying your electricity from your local utility. Also,
the wind resource in the U.S. is one that could provide over 14 times the energy needed by the
entire country in one 24 hour period.
To determine if you would benefit from a wind turbine system, check these links to see about your
wind resource, and if your state offers any incentives:
