Family Wind Turbines Gain Momentum

[goose2goose2]

yep...al you have to do is go around each morning and pick up all

the DEAD birds and bats and honeybees that hve been KILLED

by these killers..

Stay Clear !~

YOU ARE ONLY ONE OF A FEW PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT IS ACTUALLY THINKING

[PALINSMITH]

Is this privately invested or government subsisized?

American government is wasting huge amounts of money on special projects.

There are no investors because it makes no money....yet.

I'm all for individuals spending their own money, so long as they got plenty of space to install the things.

[windturbinesinc]

This is nice. Many countries are now aware of the effectiveness of wind turbines in generating electricity by means of wind energy. They have discovered that there are things that are usable but is just for free. With wind turbines, you generate your own electricity without a billed charge for that. Risk-free. With this reason alone, many are not afraid to try wind turbines as their source of power supply or to be a substitute for a generator. This can help you save money a lot.

[HomeWindGenerator]

We are doing this all over the US. Our leaders are exploiting out tax dollars to make wind power upgrades for profitable utilities. Then, 7% is wasted across the grid. Now, they want to waste more money upgrading the wasteful grid. Harvest your own wind and sun. You don't need a power company to sell you your own wind and sun. You don't really need a power company anymore.

7% of all electricity generated is lost in transmission across the grid. Home wind turbines don't. Doing this now.

[LVEdivinecommerce]

Great video- thanks for showing sustainability in action!

[WindPowerKits]

hi &NANE2&, nice video. Friends and Subscribers welcome if you want to have a look at my Home Wind/Solar Energy stuff.

[MyCarla27]

The Neterlands heeft zelf ook video's van National geographic, waarom mag ik de video's van U niet bekijken of opslaan?

[enderdragoon]

chezz you are oversimplifying an exceptionally complex system. yes we exhale CO2, yes plants absorb CO2, but if we produce 1000x more CO2 than the planet can absorb, and then reduce the ammount of forsests in the world that absorb the CO2 by 80%, were left with way to much CO2 in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming.

[chezz565]

Great idea but the reason for doing it, from what he is saying is bogus! We need CO2 and a lot more of it. Anyone brain dead enough to really believe the idea we are killing the earth by breathing out should be wearing a straight jacket.

[nsabich]

You are a model for Denmark, the U.S. and the rest of the world! We can do this!

[mrvgomes]

Congratulations excellent idea.

seem to be nice about the Wind EnergyKeep it up

[WindEnergy7]

that's awesome, nice system and video.

[450hp202turbo]

My friend has a  property with a shed OFF THE GRID! no power bills realy see no need for 240v , if we need it for welding ect work shop we use a petrol generator The hole setup is 12v free wind and sun power /flat screen tv /120 liter fridge .12v water pump for shower ect, lighting ,radio dvd cd player all 12 volt

gas for hot water and cooking . 8x12v

batterys .3x large solar panels .a winmill trypod tower like the one in this video.

fitted with a 450watt wind generator

To easy !

[ReyAudentio]

The population density in some areas of the world is too great for a family to own their own turbine. Big cities and whatnot. But I like this guy's initiative, good for areas where the houses are more spaced out.

[TheRealBoyardee]

Me too.

[FlakFafjon]

having energy for free is nice, but stop bulshitting about carbon footprint

[yaroukh]

carbon footprint my ass

[rachcummins1]

This is great.

[tamatama14]

would be a pretty good investment, and produce zero carbon emission :)

Go to California way and buy yourself a tesla.

[tasin420]

hmm

[brotherjupiter]

Who are these people who show up with mindless pro fossil fuel industry comments and who is bankrolling them?

Private distributed power as most know is the ultimate freedom and the cost will be below fossil fuel energy within the next five years.

Finaly!

[rcguy69]

Green energy is the best way to put your local blood sucking utility out of business. The cost of energy is astronomical because of big for-profit business. Sadly, green energy is actually illegal in most cities in N. America.

[truebloodnz]

Ok....what's with all the related videos showing failed wind turbines?

hmmmm....interesting.

[Neuroplasticity2]

Makes me want to take a 30 min hot shower and drive my SUV for an extra 100 miles b/c this nut thinks he is saving the planet. Makes my conscience feel good.

ROTFLOL

[landryto]

Brother?

[macspud28]

@Neuroplasticity2 Twat!!

[wetweasel56]

Your commment reflects the maturity level of a small child.

He is saving the planet and attempting to show idiots like you that if we all did this our world would be much better off.

Unless of course you still want to buy oil from countries that use that money to support an agenda of your destruction.

[Neuroplasticity2]

@wetweasel56 Actually I just found your message so forgive me for not living on youtube. I made my comment with a certain sarcasm that is often used in humorous remarks. The thing I find interesting is that though my opinion of the content of the video was different from yours, I simply stated what it made me want to do. From this you assume I want my destruction. No I want to drill for oil here, now, and stop relying on foreign input. We will just have to disagree on the environmental stuff

[wetweasel56]

@Neuroplasticity2...you failed to bring your impression I have of your ignorance up one degree.

Wind turbine generators ARE the future and we MUST put them to use NOW.

That should make you want to get one if you had a normal mind.

[Neuroplasticity2]

@wetweasel56 So you can make the wind blow all the time and constantly supply your windmill with the raw energy to supply the worlds demands? Wow you must be an influential being and I should be so honored with your rebuke. Silly Wet Weasel you really think you make a difference? Well be happy in your simple mindedness. By the way since oil is from the earth and the earth is holy, doesn't that make oil holy? Watch your logic here or you can be fooled.

As an English speaker, your sentence looks like it was put together by a group of handicapped chimps. Shaky grammar, random punctuation and an over-developed sense of self-importance.

[andrewh23]

As a lawyer, I could give a shit what a TV producer thinks about anything. Your comment didn't tell us anything except that you are a whiny little bitch who loves the sound of his own voice.

[bigal40]

This guy is an idiot, CO2 is not pollution or harmful

[ReluctantZer0]

Even if that were true, it would still deplete finite resources, and we need to jump to more lasting energy producing trends

[chuzzziii]

few thousand my ass..not for huge towers like that

[Ezlivin]

The quote was "But materials ALONE start at a few thousand dollars US." Hence the total cost would be higher, not just a "few thousand dollars." And note that the commentator is NOT referring to the commercial wind turbines shown in a few shots, but rather the smaller, two-bladed residential wind turbine the subject is using.

[andrewh23]

The total cost would be diminished by selling excess power back to the utility company and the saved dollars that would have been paid for the electricity. Yes - it's called an "investment." It could take a while for it to pay off in the long run but it's a reliable investment provided the wind continues to blow, which it will.

[florwood]

Is it just coincidence that they never mentioned how much this cost to set up?

[tdfrazi]

they dont mention it in the video but the gaia wind turbines cost about £44000. at least that is what i saw when searching for it

[hippykiller1]

I remember when an alien space craft knocked down a blade from a turbine in the UK. Roswell was a cover up. RIP TUPAC 1971-1996

[Meejoe27]

Hopefully thousands and thousands of people do the same. the price will come down and inspire thousands more, the price will fall further inspiring thousands more and eventually they will be so cheap it would be dumb not to have one.

[SmokeRises]

it's possible to have small pinwheel type turbines

that are capable of generating similar power to large wind

turbines. you'll have to do a search since i can't remember

the title. it's here on YouTube. the setup is powering a small school

[BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

What happens when the wind dies down?

[halleyscomet]

When the wind dies down you draw power from the grid, or from batteries charged during the windy part of the day.

Some technologies in development perform electrolysis on water with excess energy, storing the hydrogen in tanks. When the wind dies down, the hydrogen is burned to generate electricity.

[francisliu8633]

That is absolute brilliant, charging a electric car during the night by Turbines, the electric car consume hell a lot of electricity for the household; you need to pay a lot on that...

[darthspeaks]

See? We are elite enough and rich enough to wag our finger at your for not believing in an imaginary theory of 'global warming'...

[GuppyPal]

Wow. Fantastic. This might not be feasible in urban settings, but in more rural areas, couldn't everyone just have their own turbine? The wind blows 20-40mpw here much of the year. Seems like that'd be a lot of wind energy.

[halleyscomet]

Imagine if Chicago set these up in the windier parts of the city.

[GuppyPal]

I don't know how applicable it would be for sky scrapers is what I meant. I mean, of course it'd help. I'm not sure the Sears Tower could tack on enough wind turbines to power the whole building. However, if every building WOULD just put some turbines on the roof, I'd think it'd make a significant difference. Why the hell aren't we doing this?

[sk8jak]

I think it's just because people/companies that provide electricity would die, and I think they are like, fighitng, trying not to make that possible.

It's not good for them.

But, I wish I have one of those things in my house, and some solar panels.

[GuppyPal]

yeah, it's just because of lobbyists. We created an atomic bomb over 60 years ago, yet we're still using steam to generate electricity. I guarentee we could have an energy revolution if we wanted and the government got behind it.

[WraTH017]

@GuppyPal

Hate to break it to you, but steam is what's used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant, just the same as coal. Only thing that's the different is the process to generate the steam.

[GuppyPal]

yeah, I know that. I'm just saying our methods are outdated. Probably wasn't the best example.

[Tylor386]

fyi, Chicago was not named the windy city because of its wind conditions...actually for the "hot air" from the local politicians

[ecodralinger]

Good video Congratulations

[ecodralinger]

Is a change of the use of new energy alternative

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Because if any country needs to cut down on CO2 emissions, it's Denmark.

[deadman12078]

I live in New York state and it used t be the case that if you produced more power then you used the utility company had to buy it.

That's no longer the case. Now the amount of power the utility company has to pay for is capped so any excess you produce is free.

I'm tired of being told to conserve conserve conserve and at the same time the rates and fees keep rising.

[katchison]

electric cars were on the market a while ago... they got recalled. guess who lobbied for that?

[feruwehr]

hard to tell xD

[katchison]

Oil companies!

[halleyscomet]

No one lobbied for it. GM pulled them because the price of oil dropped. They didn't anticipate the Bush era price spike.

GM's rank incompetence has caused it a lot of problems. They didn't even build fuel efficient cars during the 1970's energy crisis for crying out loud!

Don't cook up conspiracy theories to "explain" rank incompetence by overpaid, brain dead executives.

[MoRgUe27]

thats a pretty good idea

the thing probably pays for itself with the extra energy they end up selling over the years

[jalexrosh]

What would it cost?

[c00lb0y10]

it would suck if the turbine got knocked down

[sharpy82295]

good for u man we all need change!

[ZombieX13]

gag me....

[logitechoz]

they got money

[overseachininadoll]

what happen when there's no wind?

[logitechoz]

mmmmm....thats so hard to know....no energy

[overseachininadoll]

I know that. That's why I want to know where the energy source come from when the wind stops?

[gordianival]

they are still connected to the Grid- when they are making to much electricity - its sold to the electric company- at the end of the month they get a paycheck from it- if they don't make enough- they get a bill-

[overseachininadoll]

That's very clever.

[logitechoz]

thank you, next time pay more attention to the video

[Elfavzla]

amazing!!!!!

[ChristopheBilliet]

What a dickhead.

[egyptianlily]

can i live there!? lol it is awesome they have gone and put in these windmills, progressive thinking:)

[piano99999]

thats pretty kool, wish my house did that

[jjc032681]

That's awesome..she said materials alone are a few thousand dollars...Even with the labor costs of getting that thing put up, you would make/save that amount pretty quickly w/ no elec. bills, and selling the surplus to the electric co.!

[Stefsupersaiyan]

SWEET!!! :D

[gungasc]

good gawd! 2 big ass tvs in the kitchen?

[tsalexey544]

super!!!!!

[anamarie8]

awesome

[GranolaReal]

A pet has a carbon footprint equivalent to a car.

Read up on it.

[jakylili]

lol what type of pets? an whale?

[trueskiller]

you know how expensive wind mills cost?

You can tell by how rich the family looks its no problem for them but its a problem for most or some people

[RiouInsuiko]

Yeah? Initially the cost is high and even in time it proably won't even out the cost of it (versus just using standard the whole time), but again, like almost EVERYTHING effecient, it cost ALOT usually more than it returns.. but it does Earth good.

[handplanty]

well not really, this family is entirely off the electricity grid while having 7 people using computers and all that, that's a lot of cost savings!

These things last for ~50 years at least. So you're born on the day the windmill's bought, grow up in this house, mourn your parent's death after a few more years, raise your children and by the time THEY want to raise children in it they'll see their first electricity bill.

What'ya say, worth the investment? :P

[jiltedkiller]

Saying first on any video's annoying BUT NAT GEO! COME ON!

[YouSuckAtComputers]

FIRST COMMENT FIRST VIEW!!!

isn't he afraid if the thing falls on his house from a tornado?

[jchiapet]

there are no tornadoes in denmark, but generally wind turbines are built to withstand some pretty strong winds so the house, i'm sure, is pretty safe.

[YouSuckAtComputers]

That's what they said about Collingwood, and yet we had one about 4 weeks ago

[LifeAsANoob]

first

[YouSuckAtComputers]

Hat u :(
