For example, let us say you have a judgment for $6,000 and after nearly 10 years the debtor has not paid you anything. The judgment accrues daily interest of $1.64 ($6,000 x 10% = $600; $600Ã· 365 days gives you the daily interest).
Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid or even combined with a photovoltaic (solar cell) system. For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large number of wind turbines are usually built close together to form awind plant. Several electricity providers today use wind plants to supply power to their customers. Stand-alone wind turbines are typically used for water pumping or communications. However, homeowners, farmers, and ranchers in windy areas can also use wind turbines as a way to cut their electric bills.
