    This past Saturday I took myself on a turbine tour. The first stop was Gardner where turbines are located at the local prison and on the grounds of Mt. Wachusett Community College. The first thing I noticed at the North Central Correction Facility was that the turbines were not spinning. The second thing I noticed was how close the turbines are to the prison yard and the parking lot. The turbines dominated the parking lot, but it wasn't until I took a photo of someone standing at the base of the turbine, that I really understood how big they are.

    How to Make Your Own Solar Panel | Wind Generator Plans 101

    Learning how to make your own solar panel can be a difficult task. There are lots of information about building a wind generator but relatively little about building solar panels. But there is a solution, you can purchase a book that has both wind generator and solar panel plans included. What a super deal, one book with both solutions in an easy to read format. If you are serious about saving money both a wind generator and solar panels will do the trick, one for the daytime when the sun is shining and one for those days and nights when the wind is blowing. That is the best of both worlds!
