When companies today mention "Going Green" what do they mean?  Did they get some extra insulation?  Did they put in more weather stripping?  Well I am proud to announce that Streamline SEO is now Green, and by "Green" I mean Green for real.  I spent the past few weeks preparing for and installing an Air-X Wind Turbine Generator to recharge the 8 - 12 Volt batteries that feed my house.  The batteries are wired into a Outback Power Inverter that converts the DC electric into AC electric for use by the house, but prior to this weekend I used a generator to recharge the batteries.  With the cost of gas rising and the emissions of carbon dioxide from the generator, it was a welcome break to see the windmill turning once it was erected atop the 30 foot tower. 

The construction of the tower was a "breeze", lifting it only took two people, and the actual turbine came pre-assembled with little left to complete except to attach the blades.

Of course the reason I went to Green was not some type of movement or radical conversion, the real reason is because of an unscrupulous Blowing Rock realtor (website soon to come) who negligently misrepresented the availability of power to my land when I built my house.  Of course now I am in a better position to handle the challenges, but before it was a shock to find out that Blue Ridge Electric wanted $50,000 to hook up electricity to my house!  Going on 3 years now off-grid, and I wouldn't change a thing. 

The Here is to Green!
