Another reminder of the importance of getting off the electrical grid was handed to Maine residents last week, as a snowstorm knocked out power to more than 88,000 homes and businesses. Power4Patriots suggests that homeowners learn how to generate their own solar and wind power.
Nashville, Tenn.,, United States - - November 13, 2014 /MarketersMedia/ —
In an early taste of winter, a heavy snowstorm accompanied by wind gusts of 50 mph pelted Maine last week, leaving more than 88,000 homes and businesses without power, according to weather.com.
After some parts of the state received 21 inches of snow, Governor Paul LePage issued an emergency proclamation and asked residents to stay off roads so that work crews could repair power lines.
Extreme weather has been leaving millions of Americans in the dark for decades, but there is a way to keep the lights on and the furnace running during a snowstorm that knocks out power. The key is to become independent of the vulnerable U.S. power grid, say Power4Patriots officials, who strongly recommend that people learn how to generate their own electricity through solar panels and wind turbines.
Power4Patriots was created as a way to allow anyone to become independent of high power bills and outages. Cost-effective and uncomplicated, Power4Patriots teaches people how to build their own, environmentally friendly sources of energy.
Power4Patriots is a recently updated series of videos and manuals describing how to build solar panels, wind turbines, water heaters and solar heaters. The system includes six videos demonstrating how to build a solar panel, including choosing the right materials, finding the right site for the system and avoiding costly mistakes, as well as two instruction manuals with step-by-step, illustrated directions. It also includes four videos and two instruction manuals detailing how to build a wind turbine.
4Patriots Partner Allen Baler said that, on average, the costs are under $200 to build a solar panel and under $200 to build a wind turbine. The time commitment to build a solar panel ranges from two to four hours, with the first one requiring more time than subsequent panels. A wind turbine requires a handful of hours to build.
“Consumers who purchase already-made solar panels and wind turbines spend three to four times that amount,” Baler said. “Installing solar panels and a wind turbine at one’s home will cut energy costs by as much as 75 percent.”
Patriot Headquarters publishes articles, videos and news to help patriots become more self-reliant and independent from government and big business.
