Tell us about yourself

I just want to be OPEC free. I have 5 acres of rural property and want to put up a turbine that will produce enough power for my entire house and 2 cars. I figure if Bergey is correct that would be a turbine rated at 125kw, but this Skystream 3.7 says it is rated at 1.8kw, why are these ratings so different?

Why do you support renewable energy?

$700 Billion a year going to the terrorists for no good reason, no thank-you. We don't need to be energy dependant on fossil fuels that destroy our environment.

At 1:15pm on January 14, 2009, Deep Patel said…: based on the wind speeds you have given me, you will approximately produce the following with the skystream:

20m Tower Height - 200kWh
50m Tower Height - 400kWh
80m Tower Height - 450kWh

Obviously, the higher up you go the more wind power you will generate. Although how high will the city let you put up a wind turbine? Also the higher you go up, if something goes wrong, it's going to be difficult to fix and maintain. what do you think?

At 20 meter tower height I am seeing 3.8 m/ (meters per second) for Kernville. Is that what you see?

Average wind speeds work better then wind gusts for a wind power system to pay off effectively, your thoughts?
