Going Green and Off the Grid – How do I Make Energy and Save Thousands?

I need to slash my energy bills, go off the grid and say goodbye to the electric company! I’ve had it with these high energy bills. Buying solar panels and wind generators, or hiring someone to build and install these energy sources can cost thousands. I would like an easy step by step method on making homemade solar panels and/or homemade wind generators for off grid living and going green. I would like to learn how to do it myself and not spend a lot of money. Please provide a method on the internet on how I can make home energy and slash my energy bills.

Yes, getting off the grid is great considering the thousands you can save yearly on energy costs and with this recession, you can spend the money saved on more important things. You can make quality solar panels and wind generators yourself for well under $200 each. Go for it! I did. I came across this website, http://www.homemadeenergy.org/index_tr.php?hop=webpros7, and was able to get easy step-by-step instructions on how to build my own solar and wind power system for under $200! Got all the supplies from the hardware store and had fun building them too. Now I’m off the grid and saving big time! Big thanks to that website.
