Wind power is one of the fastest growing forms of alternative energy in the world. More and more, wind power mills are seen in the countryside, in large wind farms and for the most part, away from city life. But a new form of wind power is now designed to work in an urban environment. VOA producer Zulima Palacio has the story. Mill Arcega narrates

This vid shows the various steps in planning and having a company (Real Goods Carlson) install photovoltaic solar electric power in my rear yard in San Diego; definitely more challenging than a roof installation. My rationale for this: reduce my carbon footprint, buy / own my energy (like I do my house), help address CA’s energy shortfall and take advantage of the state and US government incentives for early adopters to save on the installation.

A solar power tower is a solar power plant that uses fields of hundreds of mirrors to focus sunlight on a boiler to produce electricity.
This new power plant has two towers and 24,000 mirrors and produces around 5 megawatts of power, enough to power about 4000 homes in areas near the Lancaster California power plant. ESolar has strong funding from the likes of Google and other large clean-tech focused venture capital firms.
ESolar’s new power plant is small scale, but an excellent demonstration of their technology. The goal of the project (one might say this is the goal of all solar power projects actually) is to produce electricity cheaper than coal. But ESolar seems to have a technology that is impressing people in the know. Already they have contracts to build 465 more megawatts of these solar power towers at three sites in California and New Mexico.

www.windchasers.eu, this video is a reply to alot of e-mails that I get, asking me HOW DO I KNOW IF A MOTOR IS GOOD FOR A WIND TURBINE, well this one was free from a skip just took me 3 minutes to undo 2 bolts from an old treadmill, NOW THERE’S LOADS OF SCAMS ON E-BAY, people selling anything as wind turbines, and over rating their motors for sale ,NOW get the knowledge and info for free BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING, visit my website, www.windchasers.eu, join the forum for free, become a member for free and see how you can build a good solid working wind turbine also for free, now isn’t that good advice DO IT FOR FREE, I will tell you how FOR FREE.
Too good to believe well see my other videos and come onboard and introduce yourself to the forum members.thank you WINDCHASER
