You don't want to depend on the electric company for your power any more because even though you might be frugal with your electricity use, the rates keep going up and up. You would consider going solar, but the cost to convert to solar power just seems too prohibitive for you right now. If you are one of those people who want to have power even when the electricity goes out, then you should consider converting your home to solar power.

Let me explain, if it's not windy enough then obviously your turbine is not going to turn but also if it is too windy your turbine could thrash its self apart or burn the generator out. Neither of these outcomes are good.
