Residential Wind Power ebook for Windows. Excerpt: Wind power has historically been used on farms or by people who live in rural areas. Today, they are used more in residential areas. Residential wind power systems have become a real alternative for home owners. This is due to a number of reasons including cost, personal beliefs and one's environmental awareness. People who are concerned about the sustainability of the earth are more likely to be interested in this technology. The parts of the country that have the most residential wind power systems are in the State of California and in the Northeast region. Today, it is not just "tree huggers" that are excited about being able to generate wind power for their home but mainstream individuals who are interested in protecting their planet and also reducing personal fuel costs.
