“The Hybrid Electric Home - Clean, Efficient, Profitable”, by Craig Toepfer More than a guide to inspire individuals and businesses to invest in equipment to produce electricity from solar, wind, and biofuels, this book examines the historical path of electricity to its ubiquitous presence in modern life. With a special focus on an era when privately owned farm electric plants were sold to meet a growing market demand. Introduced, manufactured, and popularized by Delco-Light (General Motors) in 1916, ultimately over 150 companies throughout the US would be competing in the farm electric plant market by 1930 - including nearly 2 dozen manufactures of wind generators and several major appliance manufacturers. An industry that employed 100‘s of thousands was brought to an abrupt end or forced to other markets by the Rural Electrification Act of 1936. Local farm electric dollars would be carried to far away places by the wires that brought electricity to them and home town manufacturers would close down. The discovery of solar panels in 1954 and technology advancements since are combined with a compelling argument for the transition to a solar economy and a return to the free market where investment in privately owned hybrid electric power plants for homes and businesses are the preferred means to satisfy electric energy demand. 144 pages, 95 photo’s, and nearly 50 enlightening charts and diagrams. $24.99 plus $3.00 postage and handling “Jacobs Wind Electric Company Instruction Manual” Reprint of the original owners manual supplied with each Jacobs Wind Electric Plant.
