Will A Wind Turbine Pay For Itself? |
|
Answer» A wind turbine, or solar water heaters, will save enough on electric bills to pay for themselves. In good environments they can pay for themselves in just a few years. With tax incentives and grants, they pay back even sooner. YES, usually in 5 to 7 years, depending upon your winds. In some cases if you have a lot of engineering or installation issues, it may require longer to pay back. We ask this question. How long is the "payback" on your current utility bill, if you keep doing what you have been? Forever. But if you are counting pennies and doing this strictly for financial reasons, then gamble on the stock market, go to Las VEGAS or buy a Hummer. You invest in Wind because you want to invest in the future. Future for your kids, your family, the environment. Wind is a solid long term investment. But if you are doing solely for short term financial reasons, then you have missed the point and this is not for you. Do it because it is a good thing to do with positive long term results. Become a part of a solution for our nation. The Chairman of AEP one of our largest power COMPANIES said: "We must all realize that in just a few years the USA will not be able to produce enough electricity for our needs. Prices will go up much. We need wind, and all kinds of alternative energy. Every PERSON must find a WAY to do something."
