Since we've had a pretty good bit of wind lately, and that sometimes means power outages, have you ever thought about a wind turbine that can generate electricity for you?
You can either buy one that is ready made and pay a lot of money to have someone else put it up for you, or, if you're handy, you can make one yourself.
This is but one of many web site that gives a lot of information on how to build one and get it up and flying.

There are a LOT of such web sites out there that can tell you how to make one. Simply google it and you'll have a large selection of DIY wind turbine web sites to choose from.
