With the way the energy crisis is growing, soon the fossil fuels that we rely on will be gone or so overpriced, that very few people will be able to afford it. Researchers have been creating new and innovating ways to create energy out of the natural resources the Mother Nature provides. Even though the wind has been a source of power for hundreds of years, it is not until recent decades that it was considered on a large scale.

All technologies have variations in design and capability, and wind power technology is no exception. There has been much heated discussion amongst home built wind power devotees concerning the relative merits of the Swift small wind turbine and conventional home-built turbines. This article is a pointed entry into the fray, with a definite bias based upon experience and investigation, and supported by a little simple mathematics. This article is all about wind and solar power.
There is a lot of debate these days about the advantages and disadvantages of wind power versus solar power. Many solar power enthusiasts feel we are wasting time and resources pursuing a unreliable energy source, while many wind power champions feel that solar panels are simply not as efficient at creating electricity as wind turbines are. Both are right in their own way, but wrong in a fundamental way.
