Power from the wind can be harnessed to light your city or country home. Even far from electric power lines you can use this clean, green power-and it is free for the taking. An added benefit is that it does no harm to our environment. In case of a storm and wind speeds are unusually high the system has breaks that slow the fan blades down to prevent damage to the generator. Since wind is not under our control we must rely on both wind and local utility power. If wind speeds fall below 7 to 10 mph electricity will not be generated and the utility company will provide all electricity needs. This can be very good for the common man who is sick of paying increasingly high electric bills because it’s easy, cheap, and most importantly, effective.
