Power4Patriots Commends White House for Taking Solar Energy Steps

Share this news:

The White House recently unveiled plans to fund 240 solar projects in rural areas. Power4Patriots applauds this move and suggests that homeowners consider installing solar panels and wind turbines on their property.

According to a recent article in USA Today, the White House announced that it is designating $68 million in federal funds for a variety of power and energy efficiency projects in rural areas, including 240 solar projects.

In conjunction with this announcement, the Department of Energy released reports showing that the cost of solar power has dropped as its usage has increased over the last decade. For example, the cost of installed residential and commercial solar panels fell 12 to 15 percent.

Power4Patriots applauds the White House for its emphasis on solar energy and encourages homeowners to purchase or make their own solar panels and have them installed on their property in order to save money and take some pressure off a vulnerable electrical grid.

Power4Patriots is a recently updated series of videos and manuals describing how to build solar panels, wind turbines, water heaters and solar heaters. The system includes six videos demonstrating how to build a solar panel, including choosing the right materials, finding the right site for the system and avoiding costly mistakes, as well as two instruction manuals with step-by-step, illustrated directions. It also includes four videos and two instruction manuals detailing how to build a wind turbine.

“Installing solar panels and a wind turbine at one’s home will cut energy costs by as much as 75 percent,” said 4Patriots Partner Allen Baler. “On average, the costs are under $200 to build a solar panel and under $200 to build a wind turbine. Consumers who purchase already-made solar panels and wind turbines spend three to four times that amount.”

The time commitment to build a solar panel ranges from two to four hours, with the first one requiring more time than subsequent panels. A wind turbine requires a handful of hours to build.

Power4Patriots was created as a way to allow anyone to become independent of high power bills and outages. Cost-effective and uncomplicated, Power4Patriots teaches people how to build their own, environmentally friendly sources of energy.

Patriot Headquarters publishes articles, videos and news to help patriots become more self-reliant and independent from government and big business.
