Betty asks…
Are there mini windmills for sale that generate power and are easy to install?
admin answers:
There are – but if you look into it some more, solar panels that make power from sunlight are the best – the cheapest and the most reliable – lots of them aroound well under a thousand dollars, but the small wind mills start at a thousand dollars… I have seen them at large stores like Wallmart, but not very often. The problem with installing these is that they have to be high in the air – where the wind is the strongest – so no matter what – they need to be up high… But if you dig a hole for a pole – mount the windmill on the pole on the ground, then stand the pole up… This is how you get them up there.
Good luck.
Laura asks…
Where can I buy a windmill?
I want to buy a windmill. As in a property, not an ornament. Which web sites can I go to to see these and other “unique” properties for sale?

Don’t be such a romantic and buy something with true investment potential. Something really – sailable!
Nancy asks…
What home energy saving scams have you found?
open4energy has published a list of home energy scams to help energy conscientious home owners avoid being taken advantage of. They range from down loadable plans to build a magnetic generator, a solar panel or a windmill, to energy saving plug in gadgets, to full blown sales promotions for kvar power factor correction units which have negligible savings capabilities for even the biggest homes.
Each one we find is another community we can protect!

The most common website I encounter is DIY solar panels. The claim is that “for under 200 dollars you too can build your own solar panel and save thousands” I do not dispute the validity of that claim. I do take issue with what they don’t say. There are some building code violations to say the least. I have posted a blog on this very issue, and will continue to do so on a weekly basis. It is my goal to bring clarity to the cyber solar world. Check out my post “To build or not to build that is the question” at http://www.solarmandan.com.
P.S. Maybe we could post links to each other”s sites.
