Alternative Energy Scams, Hoaxes and Other Assorted Snake Oils

May 27, 2019

This week David and Wes discuss the less pleasant side of renewable energy - alternative energy scams, hoaxes and other assorted snake oils. They review the different scams and what to look out for when purchasing your wind power or solar power equipment.

This week's podcast is full of great tips on how to be a savvy consumer when it comes to evaluating lofty claims. Your purchase is an investment, do your research before you buy to avoid to good to be true pricing and products!

On a side note, please don't use PVC blades, they're prone to shattering. We recommend our high quality, Raptor Generation 4 carbon fiber composite blades as a safer option. Jeff even drives over them with a forklift, shot them with a 9mm and this customer tested them with a shotgun.
Make sure you get single thick, solid steel hubs - not two pieces of metal adhered together!
