Have a "Do-It-Yourself" mentality? I do. Use your hands and brains to get jobs accomplished? I try and sometimes I do. Tired of paying higher prices and getting less in return? I am. So ask...Where do we start and what is the solution? Let's work this one issue at a time becausewe could get really overwhelmed with so many projects and so little money.This issue addresses renewable energy.
Sources of renewable energy come from: Wind, coal, gas, electricity and wood burning devices.
Wind generators work wonderfully as long as there is a wind - we do not need too much or too little to make the huge blades go round and round. Once in awhile birds might get in the way but overall they are great - except for pricing. The average home owner could not afford this technology yet,
Coal was an option for those of us who were children over 50 years ago. I remember the dusty coal bin and shoveling the coal into the burner. Dirty and messy are the fond coal memories.
Today we have gas and electric stoves and furnaces as the main heat source for our homes. We are paying higher than ever utility bills and it does not look like the prices will be lower in the years to come. Wood burning devices may be central heaters or stand alone fireplaces. Pellets are expensive and logs are getting more expensive unless you have acres of trees you can pick through.
All of the option above are outdated, expensive, and or labor intensive. What is the best solution for our pocketbooks and for our Earth?
Consider creating your ownRenewable Energy source. A fuel source for your living space and a fuel source you can sell back to your electric company. The philosophy makes sense and with our country in an economic and energy crisis, renewable energy makes a lot of sense for all of us.
Where do you go to learn more on this subject? Search the internet, ask the technician that services your furnace, get a referral from a friend, check out an expert with a proven track record. You decide.
