Summary: Great Overview of Renewable Energy Options
Comment: The author does a terrific job at filtering out the complexity of the issues surrounding wind, hydro, and solar energy yet there is enough detail to give a solid foundation. There is great 'real world' advice that people will find useful. I borrowed this book from the public library and then ordered a copy for my personal collection.

Summary: Solar Enlightenment At Last
Comment: Wow, I can only say I wish Rex Ewing had written Power By Nature five years ago when my wife and I were first planning our great escape to the mountains of Colorado. Our house site was a long way from the nearest power line, and we hated the idea of seeing power poles go up on our peaceful mountaintop. But when we started looking into solar and/or wind power, the literature available at the time was so technical, we felt like we'd need an engineering degree just to read the book. I'm pretty handy, but we finally gave up and, as Ewing so drolly puts it, turned ourselves over to Planet Power. If we'd had his book, I think we might have made a different choice, because he explains everything clearly and simply, gives you lots of practical advice on what to do and how to do it, and best of all, because he and his wife have done it already, he makes you confident you can lead a normal life with all those normal necessities we all have to have - from computers to VCR's and freezers. With no more bills to pay from the power company. Even more amazing, somehow Ewing manages to make even the most technical parts fun to read. There are plenty of anecdotes and stories, and the book starts off with a modern-day fable that will put a smile on your face. We're recommending this book to all our friends plotting escapes of their own - it's must reading!

Summary: Just Beginning? Start Here!
Comment: I just finished this book and I am glad to have bought it!
The author takes things down to the basics so that an 7th grader could even understand it. He brought the material in a very easy to read manner and knew what he was talking about.
The best thing that I find about this book is that he tells you what he and his wife actually have on his log cabin home. He doesn't just know the knowledge and made a book from it. He built the book from experience and that is why this book is a perfect choice for somebody who is interested in PV/Wind systems.
