Financial Bail Out - Wind Energy

Hi gang,

I follow the financial and political news fairly closely. Here are my takes:

1. I hope (certainly not trust) our elected officials will take some necessary steps to help our country.
2. My guess is that the race for the President is about evenly split. The polls may favor one or the other, but never factor in surprises, gaffs, bias in polls, and a host of other info. If the polls are within 8 percent, count it as a tie. Interesting adventure going on in Ohio right now in early voting! Looks like the Democrats have a game plan in getting a slug of young voters registered and early voting. Congrats to them! A contrarian view is that each vote of an 18, or 19 year old, or whatever age voter weighs as much as the single vote alloted to Donald Trump, or T. Boone Pickens, or Nancy Felony, or anyone with a clue as to how the world actually works. Scares some of us, but then again, the younger crowd have to live in the world they voted for longer than some of us.
3. Energy - Some time ago I came to realize that the USA can not export enough of our outstanding products to offset how much we import in energy. I don't know why this was not seen by everyone, especially our elected politicians. OK, so maybe I am wrong, maybe they are wrong. The p0int is that everyone of us buys energy - gasoline, natual gas, firewood, fuel oil, electricity. YOU CAN SAVE ON YOUR ELECTRICITY COSTS! Have a wind powered generator!
4. Don't want to buy one? Build one for less than $200! Pay for that cost in a few months! While you have been reading this, a lot of breeze went by your home that you did not gather. Why not grab it and save money?
5. Here is a spot I found that shows you how to build your own wind energy turbine and generator, best I have seen: http://www.windenergyco.com/wind-energy-specials.htm
Hope this helps,
RJ
