Alternative wind energy is generated through the uneven heating of the earth i.e. the change in weather patterns. people have always been fascinated in learning how to make wind generators and harness free energy from the wind. What also determines the strength of the wind is how close you are to the mountains and the sea. Scientists continue to look for ways to develop wind power `off shore in the ocean where winds are typically more powerful.

Wind power has been used as a mode of energy for many centuries using windmills for grinding grains in Egypt and pumping water in China. Furthermore, the very first wind generating systems or windmills used renewable wind energy in Europe in the middle of the 20th century. The windmills of yesteryear work on a similar principle to the wind turbines used on wind farms today.

Just as is the case with solar power, the global wind resource is extremely vast (we are never going to run out of wind). Evidence suggests that there is enough wind power to fully power the world and then some.


The earth Energy Council has said time and time again that wind power could supply all of the worlds electrical needs by only using one per cent of the alternative wind energy available.

Now that is really impressive recognizing the fact that fossil fuels are now using the power over the world and causing great damage to the ecosystem and environment at the most alarming levels of pollution.

In the past, nuclear power was seen as the answer to our energy problems but like fossil fuels there are many difficulties and dangers most horrible the Chernobyl disaster of 1986.

The challenge with using renewable wind energy resources is that the wind farms must be in place is where wind is the strongest and most consistent. Many of the largest wind farms are in places where the wind is powerful and frequent such as in North Dakota in the United States, Wales and Scotland in the United Kingdom.

North Dakota could actually generate more wind power than all of Germany combined except we do not have all of the technology installed here yet. Plus Germany has more installed wind capacity than all of the United States. Currently, Europe is the superpower in the wind industry, however we here in the United States have actually the fastest growing wind market, and if President Obama has his way we will power over the European wind industry in just a few more years.


Fortunately, because of the startup cost are starting to go down the wind industry is growing at a rapid rate. This is because fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and soon we will have exhausted all of them all.

Furthermore, the sky rocketing prices of electricity and because of the great recession folks are searching for ways to cut down their cost. Alternative wind energy is free and the only cost involved is buying land and setting up wind farms, or installing wind turbines in your own back yard.

Currently the government offers incentives if you are going to make use of alternative wind energy over that of traditional energy sources. As a matter of fact state incentives have actually played a huge part in motivating people to install wind generators for their home. The federal tax credit can also be used for domestic wind energy too.

Now that you know more information on how to make wind generator or some people say how to build windmill. You are on your way to get free electricity. Download your free ebook today.
