Video from Fortis in the Netherlands. They have something like 6,000 turbines installed round the world; and we have put a fiar number up in the uk. A Montana will produce enough for most people’s homes. It automatically sells any spare electricity to the grid. For more information see www.the-green-company.com

nice video …
nice video production on this, cool.

I dont believe it …
I dont believe it is hard to make a windmill, its just a lot of work, like anything else.
take a look at the expense of the materials.
such as the batteries and the generator to produce the power.

Hello, does that …
Hello, does that include the rooftop wind turbines in France? Since 7% of the energy is lost in transmission, it seems like the best future is in home wind turbines to me. Nice video.

€16500 at $1.35 per …
€16500 at $1.35 per € = $22275 (only if the $ stays weak) take off your state and national rebates and then find out what you gridtie price is from your electricity company… paybacks are longer than solar cells, but work 24/7. In big wind areas some have been generating 50KWh per day, so this power is used to feed your house and to turn the meter backwards…. get your power in Germany today and you pay $0.336/KWH and see how much you save with a turbine

Jesus Christ. That …
Jesus Christ. That is almost $40,000.00 U.S.
I pay 7.5 cents per KWH.
You do the math.

Oil Companies …
Oil Companies supply oil which is not used to generate electricty.
The oil companies have enough capital to buy or even start several wind farms many times over if they desire to profit from it.

here in France …
here in France there is NO planning formalities for any turbine wit less than a 12m /40ft tower

In the EC, I supply the complete package for 16500 euros with mast, the Montana can do 8500KWH or more per year… the noisy one is an old Passaat, the new ones are less noisy

libbers they and moan about CO2 emissions and global warming and when there is a solution at hand its not good enough NIMBY syndrome

Self-proclaimed …
Self-proclaimed alternative energy proponent TED Kennedy is trying to block the proposed Cape Cod wind energy project,8 miles from Kennedy’s home in Hyannis Port it could provide three-fourths of the power needed by Cape Cod and nearby islands, which is now supplied by coal-fired plants. It would wreck his view of the ocean LOL hes got plenty of money to pay any energy cost. PAPA made a fortune running booze from Canada during prohibition

This is the future …
This is the future – this and solar energy. But the oil companies are fighting it tooth and nail.

You’r absolutely right, Why my car has more tecnology gadgets, device and goes cheaper that something which only turns and turns.

Why do we fear our …
Why do we fear our governments? They should fear their own people! The wind is free, let’s catch it and power our own stuff. Who cares what they say. But please don’t build them half-ass.

the noisier turbine …
the noisier turbine is an old model. new ones are much quieter as they have better designed blades. They are so quiet that horses don’t even notice them when they go past.
#15 by cosh99 at July 8th, 2010
The British …
The British Government is a due to change planning laws to let you put a turbine up on your own land without planning permission.
#16 by cosh99 at July 8th, 2010
for $10,000 you …
for $10,000 you could get a turbine that will help with your electricity bill, cut your carbon emissions, and reduce your dependence on imported oil. $140,000 would get you a machine that would make about 20 times as much energy as you’d need, and if you’re in the Uk you can sell the excess to the grid tax free.
#17 by jizzmonger at July 8th, 2010
That second turbine …
That second turbine shown at 5:30 is noisy as hell.
How much is a 5KW model?
#18 by jizzmonger at July 8th, 2010
That is $200,000.00 …
That is $200,000.00 American Dollars.
That is as much as the Average American house itself.
I would need about 3500 watts constant to supply my modest home.
$10,000 American Dollars is reasonable.

IF the British …
IF the British government was in the slightest bit interested in renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions or help the public in general they would allow free reign of wind turbine installations on you OWN property!
Think about it.
Why do you think they are building big wind farms off shore? So you still have to pay for the electricity and the company’s executives still make a fortune.
#20 by sonofhendrix at July 8th, 2010
Make one yoruself …
Make one yoruself that size and the law will make you take it down!
They are not interested in the public reducing their carbon footprint. That is just PR campaign and to get you to buy more products.
#21 by cosh99 at July 8th, 2010
Fully installed …
Fully installed prices for grid connected small wind turbines start at about £3500, and run to £70,000. you can get cheaper ones, but our experience is that they don’t last long!
for £70,000 you’ll get a piece of kit that’ll run a pretty large farm or light industrial outfit.

nice to see there are people that embrace technology not dismiss it.
