Arkansas DIY: Wind-powered energy source for homes? Turbines. Cost? Grants?
I live in Arkansas and have just started looking into possibly putting a turbine at my home (plenty of acreage) but it seems so unbelievably complex. Has anyone done this yet? Pointers? Cost? What’s needed and what’s not? I get price ranges from $7500 – $33,000.

Can you help? there is a need ?
A dam is in desperate need in a wildlife sanctuary. Due to lack of funds and care from the state. Less than 1000$ is needed to complete the project, a volunteer or 2 would cut that cost in half. The dam needs to be approx. 15′ wide x 5′ high. , and is located in eastern Ohio. If you can help or would like more information, exact location and so on, please inquire here or by emailing mcgraw2025@comcast.net
Review:
a 30 acre sanctuary is supporting 3x the amount of wildlife that it should. A dam is needed to sustain these animals. there land and water have been destroyed here, with power plants , mills and WTI all next door. If you or someone you know can help please inform them , thank you.
can any economics experts help me? ?
A new pulp mill located upstream from a river outfitter (a business providing rafting and fishing) produces 10,000 tons of wood pulp (for paper production) each year at a cost of $4 million. The pulp mill emits toxic chemicals that pollute the river. This water pollution harms river habitat and reduces the stock of fish in the river. Because of the new pulp mill, the river outfitter attracts fewer customers, leading to revenue losses of approximately $2 million per year.
The pulp mill could install a new filtering device that could decrease water pollution to levels that wouldn’t adversely affect the river recreation. That is, the river outfitter wouldn’t suffer any lost revenue from the water pollution. However, installing and running the filter would increase the pulp mill’s costs by $1 million per year.
3.1. Without a filter installed, the private cost of producing 10,000 tons of pulp is ________, whereas the social cost is ________.
A. $4 million; $4 million
B. $2 million; $4 million
C. $6 million; $4 million
D. $4 million; $6 million
E. $4 million; $2 million
3.2. Suppose the pulp mill has water pollution property rights. That is, the mill has the right to pollute the river. Also, the outfitter and the mill can negotiate without any transaction costs.
The outfitter will be willing to pay as much as ________ per year for the pulp mill to install the filter. The pulp mill will install a filter if it is paid at least ________ per year. Thus, the outfitter and the pulp mill _____ reach an agreement in which the mill installs the filter.
A. $2 million; $1 million; will
B. $2 million; $4 million; will not
C. $2 million; $2 million; will
D. $1 million; $2 million; will not
3.3. Now. suppose that the outfitter has clean water property rights. That is, the outfitter has a right to clean water. The outfitter and the mill can still bargain without any transaction costs.
Under these conditions, the outfitter will allow the mill to operate without the filter for a payment of at least $2 million per year. The pulp mill is willing to pay the outfitter at most $1 million per year for the right to operate without a filter. Thus, as a result of negotiation, the mill will:
A. Not install the filter and not pay the outfitter any money
B. Install the filter, but not pay the outfitter any money
C. Install the filter and pay the outfitter between $1 million and $2 million
D. Not install the filter and pay the outfitter between $1 million and $2 million

HW: What are some things that America can do to save on gas?
i have to have a list of ways people can save on gas, like how the country could reduce the cost of gas, or other alternatives.
I already thought about biodiesal, natrual gas, and solar power. what else can I say?
Ohh and i need reasons on how it would work.
Thanks for the help everybody 
How should I go about converting my electric home to solar power? Or given the cost is it just not feasible?
I have a 1750 square foot tudor cottage built in 1928 located in Fort Worth, Texas.
I am interested in wind power and its practicality in my area.?
I would like to find out cost vs. output, average wind speeds and generally how cost relates to the use of wind for private and comercial use. Any input would be appreciated.
