whats the better eco-energy source for home ?
Choosing an alternative energy source depends more on your geography than almost anything else. If you are near the coast, you may have a nearly constant wind source, but fog and clouds could render solar energy useless. If you live inland, either wind or solar could be in good supply most of the year, or may not be strong enough to make enough power. In California, you have to be in a very good geographical area to make this work. Solar energy usually requires 8-10 years to pay for itself, which is a risky proposition even in Southern California, with over 300 days a year of full sun. Wind power here is better, but has another problem: a wind turbine is large enough to be visible, and could cause visual pollution problems. It also is not a viable energy source except in mountain and canyon areas which have good winds most of the year. The average house simply can’t afford the cost – it’s not worth $5,000 to buy a generator that provides $300 a year of electricity. One of the interesti
