is there enough areas in the U.S. to build them?
do they harm the human enviroment?
do they cause pollution, via nuclear waste?
how are the resource availabilty?
Who am I ?
Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.
My story? I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.
Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.
Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
Mostly just battery replacement plus technician to check operation and engineer to ensure correct phasing into power grid and correct operation of equipment. These per KWH costs decrease with size of plant. There are plenty of potential locations, we are a large and varied nation. They do minimal environmental harm, but nuclear waste is not as serious as some people seem to think.
