Why do you want to build a Wind Turbine? http://www.squidoo.com/residential-wind-turbine-cost

Why do you want to build a Wind Turbine?

My neighbor Ben built a wind turbine and told me all about how he was saving a ton of money on his electric bill every month, so I decided to check it out for myself.

I thought it would cost way too much to build it, but Ben showed me a step-by-step guide that allowed him to build his wind turbine for less than $250 in total cost!

I ended up spending a total of $182 on my wind turbine, which is a cost I have made back dozens of times over from the savings on my power bill.

So tell me:

Why Residential Wind Turbines Cost Less Than You Think
After Ben told me about his homemade wind turbine, I realized that he's a carpenter...and, well, I'm not. =)

I like home improvement projects & design, but I'm by no means someone who can build things on my own.

So, I figured I wouldn't be able to build my own wind turbine, meaning I would have to buy one outright, or have someone make it for me. Either way, I knew this meant the cost of a wind turbine would be high.

So, I started looking online to see how much a wind turbine costs, and I found that most large wind turbines cost over $1 Million!

BUT...residential wind turbines do NOT need to crank out 2 MW (megawatts) of power, so don't worry. =)

Most houses (2,000 square-feet) only use about 1,500 Kw/month, meaning you would need to invest quite a bit of money into buildingwind turbines to power your entire home.

However, I have been able to produce 800-1,200 Watts/month with my quiet little residential wind turbine, and I've been saving about $35/month for the last 14 months because of it! (That's a savings of over $532 so far, just from one small wind turbine I built in a weekend...)

This savings came from the 1st wind turbine I built, but I upgraded and added 2 more by reinvesting my savings over time.

Now, I save $80-$110 each month on my power bill.

What My Wind Turbine Cost Me...
Here's a quick breakdown of what I paid for my first residential wind turbine:

* Blades: $36
* Rotor: $12
* Shafts & Gear-box: $21
* Generator: $18
* Controller & Anemometer: $11
* Yaw Drive & Motor: $16
* Tower: $18
* I would never have been able to pay only $132 for my wind turbine without "Earth 4 Energy", the instructional guide that walked me through the process!

I was able to follow the tips in the book to find some killer deals that saved me $100's on the materials I bought for this project.

But, "Earth 4 Energy" costs $50, so the total for my first residential wind turbine came to only $182!

Then, I replicated these plans for 2 more wind turbines, 2 solar panels, and a reserve battery system.

Since I followed the guide's directions, I am saving $1,000's per year on energy, and my investments have paid for themselves over & over!

Build Your Own Residential Wind Turbine!
...wind turbines cost less than $200.
Why not build your own wind turbine? Because Earth 4 Energy shows you how to get the materials for so cheap (and you'll be saving money every month on energy), cost is barely a factor.

Not to mention the fact that building a wind turbine is a great thing to do for the environment, AND if you keep reinvesting your savings to add more alternative energy systems for your home (like "Earth 4 Energy" explains step-by-step), you can even store the extra power you generate on the grid...meaning the power company will pay you!

So if you're sick of sending that huge check to your power company every month, do something about it!

Invest in "Earth 4 Energy" to build a residential wind turbine safely, for less than the cost of 1-2 months of power bills TOTAL!

Just imagine: you could have your own small, quiet wind turbine that is cranking out power for you day in and day out, saving you TONS of cash on your energy bill...by this Sunday!

Good luck with saving money on your power bill, or even getting checks from the power company! I hope this page helped you out.

Take care,
Emily

P.S. - I wouldn't recommend trying to do this all on your own, or following advice from random blogs & videos online. You never know what you'll get, and you don't want to risk your safety, do you?

Invest a measly $50 to save yourself TONS of time, headaches and MONEY:
