Still making power from the wind and celebrating are third year out in wonderful west TX. Are team has had commercial success with PVC wind turbine blades. We now make all of are towers from steel of coarse, we currently own several pieces of welding equipment. Check out allenergies

@raventearsx whats wrong with living simple as jesus did

Wind gens do have a bad habit of generating some rumble, 'cos the blades flex and make noise. There is a design that Scotish power were backing that had a circular rim joining all the blad tips together, that was supposed to notably reduce rumble.

@raventearsx In a program I am in there was a lady who asked God for "enough." Not less than enough or depravation but enough. As individuals (myself included) and as a society we go beyond enough and go Warp speed to excess. Excess food (over eating and over weight), excess material belongings (hoarding) and excess debt (charge now and pay tomorrow). Enough is enough. Thanks for sharing this vid. I get my power from a wind mill via Green Mountain Energy here in Texas.

We just drove through the South western section of Texas and there were hundreds of windmills on the hills. So Koodoos to you guys for figuring this out!!

The world will long outlast our species, and the mineral deposits we use for fuel are also vital components of modern civilization, providing many more crucial benefits to humanity than simply fuel for your automobile. One of my personal goals in this project is to fulfill Gandhi's tenet of "live simply, so that others may simply live."

Thanks for your interest in our endeavors.

Yes it is very pretty, but I fail to see the point in saving electricity.If we don't use the fuels here on earth who will? For whom are we saving them? Soon the world will be over populated and fuel will be the least of our concerns. Live well and in comfort the world is not going to be here for ever.

@NOMADdaf All we mean is are electricity is off the grid. Are home is 200' sq ft and we probably use less energy in a week than you use in a day. The whether can be 115 deg f in the summer and 15 deg f in the winter no joke, the harshest most beautiful place we have ever been.

[NOMADdaf]

you are in fact not even close to living off the grid. All of your materials, clothes,glasses, and even the camera you ate using were all made on the grid. So you are actually living on the edge of the grid and reaping its benefits daily. This lifestyle is also unrealistic because every on can't live in warm places. not enough room.Makes great videos but will never be practical!

Real cool. I'm blown away by your ingenuity. I came across your LED light project as I was trying to do some simple LED lighting outside my garage using my solar charged battery. I really admire what you're doing. Keep it up!!! Paul from NY
