Home Windmills Can Play a Part in Energy Independence
If you are interested in living off grid then home windmills are only part of the equation. You will need to consider everything from energy conservation to solar power to home windmills.
“The Renewable Energy Handbook: A Guide to Rural Energy Independence, Off-Grid and Sustainable Living” is a book that will get you started. If you are ready for this type of home improvement then this is the book for you. This is a great book for homes that are rural and not close to the power grid, but you will find it useful for in town homes as well.
Getting off the grid is a complicated thing and you will need to get information from numerous sources. You will not get all of your answers in just one place so don’t expect to. Not all of the families that manage to get off the grid do it exactly the same way. I am telling you this because I am suggesting another book to get you moving in the right direction, but I don’t want you to think this will be the only book on the subject you will need. It is a good book with lots of useful information, but it isn’t perfect. The writer knows his stuff and is a really smart guy, but he can get a bit preachy. If you’re like me you don’t want to be lectured about living, so just ignore those parts.
