The Big Business $2 Billion plan VS The Small Business $350 million plan
Governor Carcieri wants to spend almost $2 Billion on large industrial wind power and destroy our coastline, our economy and our health along with our pristine shores that bring in tourist dollars every year. His plan doesn’t give us energy independence. It doesn’t help to bring energy prices down for all of us. Instead it makes these multibillion dollar companies billions richer because we’ll have to subsidize them with our hard earned tax dollars and then pay for it again in our energy bills.
Our plan utilizes small wind roof top turbines that the homeowner will own. We estimate that 100,000 residents in Rhode Island could be completely energy independent and see their electricity bills cut up to 40% under our plan. Our plan would cost an estimated $350million. There would be no tax payer subsidies to pay to multibillion dollar industrial wind power companies and the individual homeowner would have complete total energy independence. There would be no environmental impacts to our plan unlike Governor Carcieri’s plan. No bad economic impacts to the plan unlike Governor Carcieri’s plan. Under our plan the individual homeowner’s home would most likely be worth more money because it is energy efficient. This would not happen under Governor Carcieri’s plan.
Imagine the economic benefit we could bring to Rhode Island small businesses that wish to manufacture small roof top wind turbines in our State and sell them in our State, across our nation and world wide. If we think green and not sell our state out to mega billion dollar corporations which seek to destroy our natural beauty for their own personal gain, our citizens can have a very bright future and see green in their wallets.
If you are still not convinced that we can scrap Governor Carcieri’s $2 Billion flawed industrial wind farm plan give 100,000 homeowners complete energy independence, save $1.65 Billion and produce far better results for our tax payers, look at the country of Australia. Australia has started to catch on that industrial billion dollar wind companies are not the way to go and have started to invest in their citizens innovations and creativity. They have started to invest in small residential rooftop wind turbines.
Here’s a short video from Australia. We have the potential to do the same here in Rhode Island!
Wind Turbine - Rooftop
Rhode Islander’s innovation and creativity will be the key to our energy independence and success. The following videos prove that wind power can be built and manufactured using recycled materials and very inexpensively. Why pay $2 billion, destroy the landscape and hurt the economy when you can use everyday recycled products to manufacture residential wind turbines, in some cases for $100, that produce amazing results and will give you your own energy independence!
Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Windmill Alternative Green Power
This innovative man in this video clip used $100 in materials to build his residential wind turbine and the largest part of the turbine he developed is made of recycled materials (the PVS drums previously held Balsamic Vinegar from Italy). The turbine turns well in very light wind. The Axle is made from 3 inch PVC piping from Home Depot and the bearings are made with a 5 inch lazy suzan from Lowes.

Here’s a link to an innovative small Rhode Island company which has the right idea when it comes to small wind power.
