Press Release - "Renewable Power and Doghouse Tricks"
------------------------------
The Complete Plans for Clean Backyard Power

If you ever wanted to put the power of the Sun to work for you but thought it was too expensive or didn't know where to start, now is your chance.

Imagine yourself in charge of your own needs. Little by little your amazement will grow as you realize how much you can do to become energy independent. I run my whole shop on what I have built up in just a couple of years. The real beauty of this plan is that I can move it if I want.

Working in a very small space, with a minimum investment, you can generate hundreds if not thousands of watts, to be used anywhere.

This is a guaranteed way to build true power independence. Working with simple tools, you can build your own power station to use remotely or in your back yard with a simple recipe-style plan that will empower you. Start first on a small scale, then add on or branch out, like LEGO^® blocks.

Have you had notions of using wind or stream power because that's what you had the most of? Those, too, can be harnessed, connected and become real power resources. In a very small space you can cleanly generate electrical power from the Sun. The power from wind or hydro-generators can be tied in the same way.

There are no cute novelty tricks here, just good, hard work.

You can buy a pre-fab shell or build one yourself. Recycling an enclousure is a great option, if it is weatherproof. Just install the hardware inside.

This booklet contains all the layouts and schematic drawings that you will need. Customer support will be offered.

Larger projects can be accomodated by using more than one Doghouse. A "Station Plan" for this expansion is included in the book. Using the "Station Plan" feature, you can expand your ability to use Nature's gifts to their fullest.

Parts are easily found at hardware stores and discount outlets across the nation. The shopping list includes a source code to locate those parts that may otherwise be unavailable.

An introduction to "Power Banking" is included. It is a simple way to view and manage what you generate.

Also, the Doghouse can be a true asset in times of disaster.

This booklet walks you through planning and preconstruction and allows you to make your "Solar Dog House" in either of two ways. The simple floor plans and drawings will quickly get you on line.

This is a simple way for you to make a small (at first) difference: In your energy costs and in the size of your footprint on the planet. For a start, just look at the gasoline you would not have to purchase for an emergency generator. Add that cost to the cost of the generator and see how many solar panels you could buy instead.

In less than 10 years, our CO2 levels will double if we don't change the way we do things. Our generation must help the ones to come view energy production and consumption in a different way. Start this as a family project and perhaps you can pass the experience along.

This is an enlightening book with a focused look at what it takes to make those first steps toward fending for yourself.

Energy Saving Tip:

Phantom Energy Vampires.

Some appliances don't turn completely off when you punch the power switch. These devices, like your microwave, maintain an energy drain to power a clock, or other, unneeded services.

If you walk through your living room at night with the lights off, chances are your rooms will still be dimly lit by the glow of “standby” lights on digital displays.

Because these devices stand ready to operate at all times, they act like vampires, silently sucking away your precious energy even when they are turned “off.”

The worst "Vampires" are the adapters that come with rechargeable battery-powered cordless phones, speciaity lamps, cell phones, digital cameras and music players, power tools, and other electronic devices.

Unplug them from the wall or install a power strip in the kitchen and/or living room and plug your appliances in, so that you can turn everything off when not using them.

A battery back-up system for your computer is an exception. You will need that to remain plugged in.
