You Can Build Your Own Green Power Plant For Cheap!

I am sure that if you've done some research, you've come across sites explaining the benefits of using solar, wind, geothermal, and other Green Energy sources. Then a lovely sales page where you can purchase your own wind turbine for only $9,200! Umm, that's a buttload of money. I don't know about you, but I'm in the 95%-under $250,000 crowd. And I cannot afford that. But I really am fascinated with the use of renewables. How can an average joe like me even afford to become less dependent on fossil fuels? Guess I'm just stuck with the stupid power company. THAT'S NOT TRUE!! Here's some ideas.

Be Resourceful and Smart to Find Bargains 

No Dumpster Diving Involved..

There is another way, my friends. It takes a little scavaging around on ebay, craigslist, and such for things like ac/dc converters, broken solar cells that you can easily solder together, etc., but there are some great deals out there. You can even call around to golf courses and see if you can luck out with some old golfcart batteries that can be refurbished for super cheap. There are other ways you'll learn about as well. You seriously can create your own home energy for so little money invested, it'll make you wish you had this information a long time ago!

A Little Scavanging Around Can Net Amazing Free Materials 

There's FREE Stuff All Over The Place!

I am not ashamed of hittin' up construction sites for scrap plywood, and such. Even finding a demolition site where maybe I can score a large beam or pole to use for a windmill. I used craigslist alot. The free stuff section is amazing. People just want you to come get their stuff, maybe tear somethin down and keep all the wood. It's really not that difficult. And if you are like me, it makes for an exciting project!

Power Your Home with the Renewables All Around you 

Have Fun and Feel Great Knowing You are Creating your Own Electrcity

Seriously, you can do it, too. I now have my home almost completely powered with my homemade energy, as I recently built a larger solar array. But that beginning, only spending a few hundred bucks, cruisin around in my truck scavaging for supplies, learning as I'm building my unit and installing it, messin up a couple times, cussin at my soldering abilities - that was really kinda fun for me. You should give it a try; see how good it feels knowing that you partnered up with the Green Energy all around you to provide the electricity to power your home. You saved money by using scrap parts, and kept it out of a landfill while you were at it.

Now Build Your Green Energy System 

Have The Comfort of Being Self-Reliant

A very disturbing fact people have finally realized is that we cannot live on fossil fuels that much longer. Not only is this source of Energy nonrenewable and expensive, the burning of these fuels is arguably causing irreversible damage to our lovely Planet. We MUST become less dependent on fossil fuels and much more reliant on Wind and Solar, among other Green Energy sources. If the powers that be really wanted to make the use of renewables affordable, I am absolutely certain they could find a way. But, as we all know, Big Oil and Big Business are Best Buddies with Big Government. You know how it goes - it's disgusting. Luckily, if you are reading this, you are on your way to discover how to inexpensively create alternative energy for home, and not be at the mercy of the greedy and selfish power players.


After a lot of research online,I found there were many instructions and how-to's, but most were incomplete, or just too damn confusing! I Finally discovered a product called Earth4Energy!
It is amazing! I personally was sold after checking out the site, and with a money back guarantee I felt, "why not?"
I am excited to report I have two working solar panels and a small wind generator on my roof, as well as a small windmill in my backyard - all built for less than $700 bucks. I've gotta be honest, I took my time in gathering the raw materials (I'm a cheapskate and self-professed bargain hunter.) And I didn't rush the assembly either, so i understood exactly what I was doing, and why. It has paid for itself in three months! My utility bill is almost nill!! Earth4Energy laid it all out in easy step by step instructions and is packed with hints and ideas on where to find the material needed for cheap or sometimes free. Using what I learned, next I'm going to build a portable solar-powered generator for camping and such. Exciting stuff building your own green energy system! Give it a try...
