Better Choices
Wind turbines as alternative energy sources are very popular for various reasons, reasons that I mentioned in the last post. They’re a big hit with the various state and local governments around the country. So much so that these entities in addition to the federal government are providing incentives and tax breaks for residential and commercial use.
Using turbines to provide power in large utility applications is good. Turbines on a wind farm in the middle of no where is even better. However I don’t know if I want to look out my window and see a huge with tower in my neighbor’s backyard. For residential and light commercial use there are better choices such as solar panels (photovoltaic) and my personal favorite fuel cells. Both receive government incentives and tax breaks, fuel cells not as much. I’ll discuss fuel cells in detail in the future
