Feedback
Generating `people
power'
Thank you for bringing the
refreshing and inspiring report "As
free as the wind" by Andrew Epplett
into your April issue! Clean, safe
renewable energy generation from
wind and sun is truly the invention of
what I call "People Power".
Putting Nature's power to use in
small distributed generating
applications could save our children
and grandchildren from walking
around wearing oxygen masks. The
technology is there, and as Epplett
writes, "investing in a system that has
a 20 -year warranty (for PV -panels,)
one that could pay for itself in Tess
than half that time, is a pretty
attractive incentive to any home or
business owner".
I have not paid any hydro bills for
my farm for nine years now as I cut
Ontario Hydro off in 1994 when my
little solar/wind hybrid generation
plant started working for me — and
has worked with nature's help ever
since. Sure I have learned along the
way, but when the sun isn't shining
the wind usually blows, and you
never waste any electricity.
On the prompting of organic
farmers I founded and incorporated
Citizens For Renewable Energy
(CFRE) to help others to become
more independent of sometimes -not -
too reliable power supplies. Three of
our board members live off the grid
and a number of our members do,
too. We have workshops like the one
on May 25, to help others with
information and instruction. We need
to realize that the age of "the Great
Energy Revolution" has arrived.0
