How about because you can cut your energy bill in half effortlessly (even go completely off the grid). Or how about for the reason that there is a huge energy crisis on this earth. The more we can do as individuals the less we have to rely on a govt. that can't seem to get it correct.
How do I get on track?
Reading this article is a good start. In fact, that is exactly how i started, by doin research. You have the benefit though, since there are so many individuals that have already done projects like this you don't have to go through all the trial and boo-boo that I did to find the right set of DIY Windmill Plans.
There are alot of scams out there.
But there are also a couple of trustworthy companies that offer products that will give you a effective windmill in a short time. All you give is a couple hundred dollars, some enthusiasm, and some elebow grease. I went to Earth4Energy to get my plans. They were the first and they are still the top (click the link at the bottom for more info).
One short weekend is all it took for me to build my first windmill!
I won't lie to you, I had some aid. My 6 year old daughter and I did it together. It was heaps of enjoyment and super trouble-free, and she was a big help. We now have a operational energy generating windmill at our house in the suburbs and it creates on average about 60% of our electricity needs. It only took two months for me to get my investment back!
If you are thinking about generating your energy don't pay somebody 1000's of bucks to do it for you! If you do you are missing a great opportunity to have some fun, save some money, and do something super worthwhile for yourself.
