Wind Power:

Greener Energy Is in the Air

 You can save energy and reduce your carbon footprint in ways you probably never realized. Solar Wind & Rain can even put the wind to work for you!

 Wind energy probably represents the most ancient of all “green” energy technologies. Used by the Chinese to pump water and grind grain as long ago as 200 B.C., windmills provided a principal source of industrial power throughout Europe and Middle East throughout the centuries. The Dutch, in particular, embraced the windmill, refining its design and harnessing its power to drain water.

In this country wind energy, much like solar PV and solar thermal technologies, has ridden waves of popularity as gas scares such as the “Arab Oil Crisis” of the 1970s prompted us to seek renewable alternatives. The U.S. built several large multi-megawatt wind turbines for the development of grid electricity, only to lose interest in the 1980s and early 90s. Since the late 1990s, however, the quest for “green power” has revitalized windmill development across the U.S., Canada and other nations.

But you don’t have to own an enormous commercial electrical grid to take advantage of wind power. Solar Wind & Rain sells and installs small wind turbines for energy-conscious families or business just like yours. If you’d like to start “riding the wind” for cheaper, pollution-free electricity, contact us and let’s talk about it.
