re thoughts

hmm bet $200 wont get you producing much electicity. Dont hear how much you can produce--yea depends on wind and sun but also what your wind mill and solar units can supply--i just dont believe the $200

Earth4Energy FAQ

Quotes from their FAQ page:
"How much power does the Earth4Energy windmill produce?
Our aim is to produce 1000 watts of power by using blades that are 8 feet in diameter with wind speeds of 20 miles per hour."

"How much power does the Earth4Energy solar panels produce?
Our manual provides instructions to build 100 watt panels and you also get the instructions so you can join multiple panels together to raise the output to 1000 watts +."

While I'm always a little wary of things on the internet, I'd be interested to see more of this, if I didn't have to shell out $49.97. But they do have a money back guarantee, so who knows.
Anyone have experience with this guy's book?

FAQ page

Well you are not going to be able to get this windmill alone would be more than $200-plus he talks about hooking up an inverter- that's an added cost.
I hope his pitch is not to good to be true. Wondering what I could of done for $8,000 to go solar and wind power? That is what my power cost me to bring to my property. The place where I am building has plenty of both wind and sun year round. Well I could go solar and tie into grid later and maybe pay zero or even earn something. Never went to the FAQ page. Hopefully someone needs power and ties into me so I can get some $$ back on my power cost!

I didn't see that... maybe its worth 49.99$ im not sure.

There are videos on youtube showing how to build solar panels so maybe there is a way to go cheap.

global warming

A short time ago, The US Senate committee on the environment said that all 4 satellite weather systems agree that global warming stopped in 1998. We are now into global cooling.....so they say.
