Green Energy – Wind Or Solar For Home
Green energy is one of the hottest topics today when discussing how to help with our world wide problem of non- renewable energy. The ability to reduce our home energy costs will help with the use of many of the non-renewable energy sources. We now have many solar home systems and wind powered systems that are available. These systems often will have a pretty hefty upfront cost but will pay for themselves in many different ways. When solar energy is being gathered on a home system and nobody is home, that energy is being credited to the home owner.
In other words the electric company is actually buying back the energy you are not using. What a wonderful thing to see the electric meter spinning backwards and giving you credits with the electrical company. This can be the same instance for wind power. You can actually dramatically reduce your energy costs. At the same time you are doing your part for a cleaner and more responsible way to approach using renewable versus the non renewable sources of energy in our world. By investigating these alternative sources we are in step with the goals our world is trying to achieve and that is to become a “greener place.”
By taking a look at the green energy alternatives for our homes we can all look to do our part in helping get to a more reasonable way of using our resources and get away from the careless attitudes toward our planet that we have shown over the last several decades. We all need to do our part to help preserve our wonderful world and abandon the ways we have been ruining our planet. Since this green energy movement is gaining momentum there have been many people busy devising new ways to capture energy. One of Hollywood’s long time stars Ed Begley Jr., has been a “green” fanatic for years. He actually has a stationary bike hooked up to a device which will power some of the smaller appliances in his home when he rides the bike.
He toasts his toast in the morning by riding his bike. He is one of those guys who actually “walks the walk”. His methods may be considered extreme but he is pretty inspirational about how he truly pays attention to our earth and how he lightens his load while here. I think in today’s world and economy the idea of home energy and green energy is rapidly growing and here to stay. These renewable energy options are available to all of us and will not just benefit us, but will help diminish some of the problems we have created along our way.
