LOL this is what's so funny about all this. I looked into a wind generator. Cost and everything even with government subsidies at the time in tax breaks would take about 20-25 years to break even. Life expectancy of the units I looked at? 25 years. Now that was just tied into the lines with no other changes than making my own electricity. Selling the extra to the power company. No battery storage system or anything else. Run off of my power when I could and theirs when I can't kinda thing. A decent generator isn't cheap by any means. The companies selling em sure made it sound good. But that's why you don't see more personal setups.
Like this storing heat idea. May sound good up front. And it may well work. But like with my basement. How much is it going to cost to break out the old concrete (I'm too tall to raise the floor) buy the materials and install the system and then re-pour the floor? Then what's the wind genny gonna cost. At 63 will I ever break even or am I just spending money to make an environmental statement? Kinda like here. When it's 30 or colder electric cars don't work well at all. So it's a 6 months a year car here. So about the only folks here with one have it to make a point and it sits unused for 6 months. Awful expensive statement.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
