MJ in Illinois asked:


Are there advantages or subsidies from the U.S. Federal for using wind energy? The Illinois tax breaks or subsidies for using wind energy? What are the average wind speed required for Chicago and other areas successfully use wind energy?

    9MPH for sustainable electricity generation.(low wattage production at that speed) US government currently offers tax incentives for eco-friendly conversions like wind generation or solar power. however last I knew there was a cap of 2000 dollars. As a republican can I just say Thanks for nuttin George. I’ve got your rebate right here! Some lenders have special programs to help you set up a system with lower interest rates you may want to see if there are any “Green” credit unions or co-ops that lend. Join one and go from there
