What Goes Around, Comes Around A fine example of Distributed Power Generation (Distributed Wind Power).

Endurance Wind Power speaks a lot about Distributed Wind Power and with their unique turbine design they offer North Americans an affordable and cost effective way to produce their own power by connecting directly to the power grid. People, Farmers, Schools and Small business whom are looking for ways to produce their own power need to review the industry leading features of Endurance Wind Power products.

Sustainability. Carbon footprint. Global warming. CO2 emissions. Kyoto protocol. We all know the buzz words that frame the environmental crisis; the world is finally understanding the imperatives of implementing meaningful change. But how can we as individuals implement a planet-wide (and planet-wise) "green revolution"?

The driving personalities behind a story of stunning transformation were role models Jorgen Tranberg and Soren Hermansen. Thanks to them, and the innovative people on the island of Samso in Denmark, the answer to all of their problems (and maybe ours, too) was simply "blowin" in the wind".

In less than 10 years, this bucolic island of 114 square kilometers of grazing land and farms weaned itself from a reliance on fossil fuels and conventional grid electricity to go totally off-grid. There are 21 turbines located on Samso, and it is the first island in the world to be entirely powered by renewable wind energy. The two hundred and fifty households on the island have also reduced their heating costs by 20%. The island is an excellent example of distributed power generation, exporting a 4% excess of energy from their windfarms and other sustainable energy resources to the mainland.

And to think, all of this sprang from a simple village get-together and the will to make it happen. Now that's ecology that makes good economy!

U.S. Federal Government Supports Small Wind Power with Tax Incentives

Monday, October 6, 2008

As of Oct 3rd 2008 Congress has signed into legislation under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, H.R. 1424, a federal tax credit investment program that will encourage small business, farmers and how owners to invest in small wind. Any owners that install a 100 KW unit or less will be eligible to receive a tax credit of up to $ 1,000 per/kw of capacity not to exceed $ 4,000. This tax credit is available from Oct 3/2008 through December 31/2016.


Endurance Wind Power Inc appreciates Congress' support for Small Wind and the fact they are recognizing the importance that distributed wind power can have in the overall energy contribution towards a cleaner environment. We need to fight global warming and governments financial support at the federal level is extremely important. This legislation is the first federal level incentive since for small wind power since the 80's.
