"Electricity is so Expensive...is Alternative Power the Right Choice for Me?"
 

August 14th, 2003 - Ontario Plunged Into Darkness...

If being plunged into darkness in the Summer of 2003 was not enough for you, then surely the removal of the hydro rate cap and the coming price changes has left you wondering about your choices. You're not alone, each day more and more people turn to alternative power solutions - just look at the number of portable generator sales when the lights went out in August 2003!

Demand for alternative power solutions has steadily increased over the last decade. Admittedly the demand has peaked when a crisis hits, however the growing wish to effect change and have choices now drives the new alternative power market. Now more than ever people have new needs for alternative power: the boat, the cottage, any place where a hydro connection would prove prohibitively expensive.

And let's not forget environmental issues too. The combustion of fossil fuels and the ensuing price increases due to the ever decreasing supply, has lead to a new interest in alternative power. Just type "alternative power" into your favourite search engine and as of writing this, there are over 8½ Million web sites on this very topic. Doesn't that tell you that there is a real need for practical, cost effective and easily implemented solutions?

So what type of alternative power choices exist for you today?

There are three primary types: solar power (light), wind power (air), and micro-hydro power (water). Each one is unique and the ones that might be suitable alternative power choices for you will depend on what resources you have available. Click here to return to our home page for more information.
