Wind Power Companies

Betty asks...SOLAR OR WIND POWER? IS THERE A COMPANY PROVIDER THAT DOESN'T COST THOUSANDS TO INSTALL? CAN BE HOOKED UP 4 LE Solar or WINDPOWER? Is there a company provider that doesn't cost thousands to install? A service that's less than regular POWER & can be hooked up the same way with out the high price!WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS: Check places such as ebay for used parts and learn how to set it up yourself. For example: Solar panels that are 10 years old may be bulky, but they produce almost as much energy and costs a lot less. Robert asks...WHO ARE THE LARGEST COMPANIES BUYING LAND FOR WIND POWER? What COMPANIES are currently looking to invest in WINDPOWER? Where are they building?WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS: Here is a great link to information on geothermal power. It also offers an additional free stock pick report. Hope this helps Linda asks...WILL SWITCHING TO WIND POWER THRU MY ELECTRIC COMPANY SAVE ME MONEY? WHAT OTHER COSTS ARE THERE BESIDES KWH? I'm trying to find more info on what my bill will look like if I swap to WINDPOWER thru OG&E @ 12000 kWh. I know it's 7 per day but what else will show up on my bill?WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS: What happens is that the transmission company buys the power.All of the other costs are the same. I've never heard of green power being cheaper. At some point, there will probably be a carbon offset fee on your bill if you're using coal or oil. Susan asks...DO POWER COMPANIES STORE EXCESS ENERGY DURING TIMES OF LOW DEMAND? POWERCOMPANIES always shut down generation plants when there is low demand in the POWER grid, but they always have to maintain a safety margin - perhaps 10% or more POWER than the grids demand. Do they STORE this excess/unused POWER? what happens to unused POWER.WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS: I read up a bit on this and here what I've found:Like your car's Alternator there is no "extra" power that is created without demand. Meaning if everyone shuts off their A/C's in a big city the power plant's generators simply slow down or shut off. The safety margin is that they try to preemptively have power "potential" that is on the ready - maybe some turbines spinning, ready to accept load. Given, running a power generation source without load is wasteful but it is acceptable since even the power companies cannot tell when exactly or how much demand will change. They usually make up the needed power from providers while they increase capacity - if they can. You car's alternator is good example - once you get up to speed above an idle, it is making more power than the engine, the basic accessories and the battery needs. If you could monitor the drag or draw of the alternator on your car as you turned devices on a off you would see how load makes the alternator put out more power - while spinning at the same rate. Your engine has to absorb the drag of the alternator by increasing fuel consumption or idle speed. Your alternator is simply using regulating the voltage going out and its' speed determines the amperage potential. At about 2500 rpm your alternator is putting at about 70% of capacity. The easiest way to see this is turn on all your accessories at idle and you should see the headlights dim a bit. Raise the engine speed and notice that they brighten but only so much. Overall the generators that power company's use are far more efficient than the alternator in your car so any waste is simply there to feed our ravenous need for power. The only utilities that are planning for storage for solar and wind, since the sun sets and winds change. Those methods range from air compression, to molten salt to flywheels and many others. Donna asks...THE POWER COMPANY, WIND, THE SUN'S HEAT WITHOUT A FAN TWIRL HELP FOUR YEARS AGO TO START WORK, I LIKE TO RIDE? The POWER company, WIND, the sun's heat without a fan twirl help four years ago to start work,I like to ride too far forward, but I would like some help.If an organization would help the job can be quite successful.WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS: Repeating your question in the detail doesn't help, especially when your question and the rest of the details don't make much sense at all.
