Cost-effective, Durable, Wind Energy Systems for Florida's Energy Needs
Wind is the number two developed renewable energy resource in the US, and with good reason. Low production fluctuations, consistent sources, and continually improving technology make it 'THE SOLUTION' for our alternative energy needs. Download the White Paper today - "Wind Power in Florida Now" to discover why Florida is lagging and what we can do to fix it.
Consider these benefits:
- Low environmental impact
- Reduced energy costs
- Minimize your (and your business's) carbon footprint
- Developing technology is continually reducing risks
- Create High-Tech local jobs

For the owner
- The owner or installer of wind energy can reap huge tax savings and reduced energy costs. The government allows a tax incentive that covers up to 30% of installation costs. Furthermore, you'll be saving on expensive monthly utility costs for as long as you have the system installed.
- Better than other alternatives: "studies indicate wind energy has one of the shortest energy payback times of any energy technology."
- In some municipalities, your extra power can be sold back to the power company at competitive rates, to assist in offsetting set-up costs, and as a long-term revenue source.
For the community
By installing a wind energy system, the community will begin using a less expensive, more consistently priced alternative to the fluctuating prices of natural gas. Job creation, and other government incentives to the city help stimulate the local economy.
The future is wide open for Wind Energy
We are at the infancy of alternative energy, but the technology is moving forward exponentially. Think about how quickly the personal computer advanced and was adopted, this is no different. Florida needs to act now, otherwise they will need significantly greater effort in the future to catch up.
Wind energy could supply about 20% of the nation's electricity, according to Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratory, a federal research lab. North Dakota alone is theoretically capable (if there were enough transmission capacity) of producing enough wind-generated power to meet more than fourth of U.S. electricity demand.
Wind power is good for Florida's environment
- In 1997, U.S. power plants emitted 70% of the sulfur dioxide, 34% of carbon dioxide, 33% of nitrogen oxides, 28% of particulate matter and 23% of toxic heavy metals released into our nation's environment, mostly the air.
- Wind energy system operations do not generate air or water emissions and do not produce hazardous waste.
- No CO2 production during operation, no contributions to global warming
