If you are interested in learning more about utility scale wind power, this might be an interesting conference to attend…
The Southeastern US has the potential to be the long-term leader in East Coast wind energy supply chain and development. The region’s offshore wind resource is second to none, its electricity markets are some of largest and fastest growing on the East Coast, and the region boasts existing world-class supply chain infrastructure and highly-skilled, low-cost labor markets.

In the spirit of valentines day, we thought we would post some of the things that we love about Wi nd Energy. As long as the sun shines, there will be wind. Wind is a clean, renewable energy source. Living near the coast, we have an abundant wind and the potential to harness it to create energy is an opportunity.

Point Harbor, North Carolina
October 11, 2010
Waldt Renewables, a division of Waldt Construction, is pleased to announce the installation of the first residential wind turbine on the Outer Banks. The Windspire™ vertical axis turbine will make its residential Outer Banks debut at the home of Gene and Martha Sutton in Point Harbor on the Currituck Soun d.
The sculptural and quiet Windspire turbine will allow Gene and Martha to produce clean, wind energy to offset the demand from their home. Using the near constant wind coming from the Northeast and Southwest depending on the season, the Suttons plan on seeing energy offsets greater than the estimated annual production seen at 12 mph of 2800 kWh per year. That’s more than a third of the average household consumption as documented by the Department of Energy.
For Gene and Martha, both retired but working in second careers, the cost of installing a Windspire was well within reach. They were attracted to lowering their energy bill now and protecting themselves against increasing energy costs. And they had other altruistic reasons. “We felt that it is important to have a visible symbol of our commitment to the future. By installing a renewable energy power source we feel that we are doing our part for the stewardship of this beautiful place where we have chosen to live. There is a greater need here than seeing an immediate financial benefit, “stated Mrs. Sutton.
“We knew that the Windspire was the perfect solution for us. It was approved with ease by Currituck County under their wind ordinance. Our neighbors have participated and approved our installation. There is a great deal of curiosity about wind power and its potential for homeowners on the Outer Banks,” offered Gene Sutton, homeowner.
Waldt Renewables is the eastern North Carolina dealer for the Windspire wind turbine. Waldt Renewables also provides the latest and most efficient alternative energy options for residential, commercial or institutional projects. For more information, call 252.491.2204 or email renewables@waldt.com.

There a great new video to watch that shows the Windspire in action…

In his State of the Union address, President Obama reiterated that “providing incentives for energy-efficiency and clean energy are the right thing to do for our future -– because the nation that leads the clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy. And America must be that nation.” See it here.
Waldt Renewables is a small business aimed at helping customers in eastern North Carolina understand how they can leverage existing tax incentives to pay for turnkey renewable energy solutions for their homes and businesses.
We tell our customers that there is an investment when installing any of these solutions. But we believe, as do most of our customers, that renewable energy production is the right direction… from stabilizing energy costs over time to reducing our national economy’s dependence on foreign energy sources.
More importantly, we understand that the more people who are interested in and understand creating clean energy, the more positive an impact on not taxing the environmental future of this region.
Let us hope that our politicians here us on both the state and federal level about maintaining, or better yet increasing our clean energy incentives.

Recently the New York Times published an article about Windspires being installed in front of the City Hall in Copenhagen. While some energy is being generated and offset, the primary goal is to create energy conservation.
One of the people quoted suggests the concept is the same as having city dwellers consider where milk comes from… seeing how energy is produced creates an awareness of how energy is used.
I think this is true. If I see a wind turbine operating, I am far more likely to think about how I use energy. Do I minimize my and my family’s energy usage? Wind turbines, large or small, as energy generators, provide food for thought.
For more information about Windspires in Copenhagan, along with some good facts about the Windspire product, click here:

Waldt Renewables and Blue Sun Renewable Energy have announced a regional dealer relationship for northeastern North Carolina and the Outer Banks for the Windspire vertical wind turbine.
Windspire is a new approach to wind power. Smaller, silent and affordable, the 30 foot high Windspire installs easily to capture wind energy in more places – at homes and businesses, as well as for larger energy projects. Working with wind from all directions, Windspires can also be grouped together as a wind garden to give you the power you need, without tall towers and with competitive installation costs.
Windspire is manufactured in the United States and has been featured in a ABC Extreme Makeover Home in Jamesville.
For more information about Windspire, contact Waldt Renewables or click here to see how it works.
