Did you know that you can run your entire household off the power generated by a single windmill? Imagine being able to run your televisions, computers, and refrigerator off the power created by your windmill. It could save you hundreds of dollars a month.

There are other benefits to generating energy with your own windmill than just saving money. Generating your own energy decreases the burden on your local power company, and lessens the impact on the environment. If only a small percentage of the population did this, it would have such a beneficial impact on the environment.
