The Renewable Energy Handbook for Homeowners.
 The recent launch of "The Renewable Energy Handbook for Homeowners" heralds a new age in clean, green, efficient electricity for North Americans. It's a step-by-step guide to making (and selling) your own power from the sun, wind and water.
The book is the most comprehensive source for people who want to lessen their impact on the planet, and/or save money by making their living spaces more efficient.
