Michigan Wind Power - Power to the People!

Michigan Wind Power LLC Michigan Wind Power delivers innovative alternative energy solutions to the average homeowner with special consideration to the environment. The Traverse City based company is owned by Garth Ward who takes alternative energy out of the theoretical domain and actually leads the way by example. He is one totally dedicated person looking for non-traditional means of powering homes and cars. He owns a 22-foot motor home equipped with a mobile turbine that charges its 12-volt batteries. His motor home and trailer are used for classes and to advertise the wind and solar energy devices he sells. He's preparing to hook up another that will stand about 35 feet tall and generate enough electricity to power his new 3,000 sq. ft. home.

One of Mr. Ward’s advertising tools is a one-seat 2000 Corbin Sparrow electric car that gets about 40 miles per charge. It takes about an hour's charge for every 10 miles driven. It costs about $18.75 in gas to drive 40 miles round-trip to work and back in his SUV, compared with 37 cents to recharge the electric car to make the same trip. It is number 096 of the 360 units produced. Pollution free transportation is on the horizon.

By seeking to provide alternatives that benefit customers and the environment, Michigan Wind Power stresses their mission statement, “Power to the People!” Individuals can supplement their energy with wind and solar power and partly or entirely sidestep the utility companies. Alternative energy is no longer just a solution for large facilities. Now the average homeowner can afford tap into this technology.
