My wife Jamie and I are big supporters and believers of natural, organic, and holistic approaches to life (you can read more about this in the About Me section) .
For years now, I’ve wanted to use homemade energy (wind and solar are the ones I’m most familiar with) in my house. I had always thought that “when I get some money” I’m going to invest in solar panels (or some other homemade power supply). Well, I have 2 kids under 2 1/2 years old, a mortgage, and student loans to pay off, so I don’t know when that day is going to come.
But since using natural energy is a cause I believe in and with a tough Wisconsin winter right around the corner (and insane utility bills along with it) I decided to start doing some research and see what sort of options for home made power we have.
I was very optimistic that this could be done since I had 2 specific examples – the company I work for uses geothermal energy and we have a family friend that uses all solar energy (I think the electric company even pays them on months where they generate more energy than they use). Now, both of these examples had WAY bigger budgets than me, so I can’t follow their examples exactly, but I know it’s possible.
My initial focus was on homemade solar energy or homemade wind energy, because like said above, those are the ones I’m most familiar with. But, I’m open to any homemade power sourcethat is environmentally friendly and will save me money.
