Power from wind, sun, water, steam: is it really "free?"

The expenses:

1) Storage batteries (deep-cycle)

2) Charge controllers

3) 12vDC to 110vAC/220vAC power inverters

4) Cabling, mounting, piping, concrete footing

5) Photovoltaic panels or wind turbines or water turbines or steal turbines or heat couplers

6) Maintenance

7) Depreciation and replacement of failed parts

Get another bottle of boozes and shut the fuck up.I have 3 free power devices that I use. All together thay have cost me about $400.00 and in the time I have used them they have saved me 20 times that much. Yes it takes money to make them , but the mone I have saved me means they have paid me back many times over. That means that at this point in time they have not cast me anything, You dumb shit they have paid me.

@orvilebaker ; No, idiot, you do not have any "free energy" devices: it's impossible.

Guy..STOP speaking..you don't know anything what your talking about !

DId you say wind and solar power is not free?? are you crazy !

your nose is as red as your shirt is and i bet Wyoming can generate all the power they need off of the booze from your breath man.

@frank0067 ; That is correct: electricity from sun and wind is not free. In fact they are some of the most expensive sources of electricity.

@Desertphile

LISTEN to yourself man ! people who own windmills and solar panels will think your off your rocker..how much are they paying for sunshine and wind power? 0.00

what part of thAT DONT YA GET

@frank0067 ; Own solar panels and a windmill that pumps water to the cattle, here on the ranch I live. It is extremely expensive energy: if I had access to city power I would abandon the wind turbine and the solar panels in a heartbeat.

My brother didn't pay the electric company so they killed his supply. He installed some solar panels which he did not pay for ( he 's the type of guy that never makes a big invest in anything simply cause he never has money) and some small converters and a battery. He is able to power his light bulbs and some other stuff. He 's not runing a big device but he' lives a normal life. His cost are ZERO and he still uses some energy. So it is possible and exist.

he is speaking truth, well done for opening some small minds.

this guy is just has nothing good to say about anything. cross eyed long haired hippy dumb fuck doesn't realize when you buy a regular appliance that you have the same costs.
