Make Your Own Electricity
One of the more innovative green home products in recent years is the Skystream residential wind generator. Made by Southwest WindPower, the world’s largest producer of small wind generators, the Skystream makes residential wind energy accessible and affordable to the masses.
According to their website:
The Skystream 3.7™ is a new generation residential wind generator that hooks up to your your home to reduce or eliminate your monthly electrical bill. It’s the first all-inclusive wind generator (with controls and inverter built in) designed to provide quiet, clean electricity in very low winds. This makes Skystream ideal for residential homes and small businesses.
Typical Skystream installations cost between $12,000-$15,000 US, and rebates and incentives reduce that cost significantly in some areas. Some users are seeing payback periods for their systems as low as 4-5 years.
