This show features Mike Gazzano with Delta Wind Energy Systems. Today’s subject is wind energy; specifically residential wind energy. This means putting up a wind generated turbine as high in the air as your house or neighborhood allows. Preferably on your roof or on a pole. According to the American Wind Energy Association, wind turbine dealers have sold almost 100,000 residential units since 1980, and in 2009 the turbine market swelled 15% despite the economic slump. The market boom, buoyed by growing interest in alternative energy, is a direct result of federal tax credits worth 30% of wind-harvesting costs.
