The Math of Wind Farms:
GPP pays 5% until debt service is complete on the turbines, then
your lease doubles and jumps to 10%.
This is a very conservative low /rate. Most
GPP facilities are designed to provide twice this rate.

One of the developers commonly offers a 3.5 percent royalty
payment to land owners, which increases by 1/2 of a percent
every five years.
One of the developers commonly offers a flat rate of $3000
per megawatt per tower per year. Gold Pact Power pays land
owners a 5 percent royalty per year, and doubles your royalty
percentages after the turbines are paid off.

If you'd like to learn how to earn 50% of gross profits
I suggest you read this page carefully and talk to your attorney before signing anything. Right now, land owners in many states are faced with a tough decision. Many wind farm developers offer attractive up-front payments and minimum guaranteed payments whether or not your land is windy enough to construct a wind farm. As the table above demonstrates in this 1000 megawatt project, the fact is, that if your land is windy enough for a wind farm today, as oil prices rise, it will be even more lucrative tomorrow. Anyone who is worried they are going to "miss out" if they don't jump into a lease today, is mistaken. If your land is valuable as a wind farm today, it will still be valuable tomorrow, if not more so, despite what anyone tells you to the contrary.
THIS REVENUE CALCULATOR IS EVEN MORE ACCURATE: Oil prices rise and play a key role in inflation. Many wind farm contracts with utility companies have an inflation index built into them. In this calculator, you can change variables and see exactly how much money you will make off a single wind turbine. At Gold Pact Power, where we work with both land owners and communities, we strongly suggest you consider the income examples above and the immediate and long range future of your children and the communities you live in. While reviewing the various options facing a land owner in the above comparison, the first thing you may notice is that we don't pay any up-front fees, nor do we guarantee that we'll put a wind farm on your land. Our lease is structured so that if we don't build within two years, you are released from the contract and you can sign with anyone you choose. Your windy land today will be even more valuable to them tomorrow. The next item you might notice is the huge difference in overall royalties we pay to land owners compared to other firms. Within the first year of operation, the total of any up-front fees and royalty percentages other developers may pay are small compared to the much higher royalty payment Gold Pact Power pays. In the first example above, EVEN WITHOUT INFLATION INDEXES the royalty differences are huge:
While other Developers provide 'educational tours' of their wind turbines, we put our money where our mouth is. Our books are open for community review and the 20 percent is paid directly to those agencies you, not someone else, YOU say are the ones you wish to support over the term of your lease. In the example above, that works out to nearly a billion dollars in funds from the kWh profits from Gold Pact Power, or about half of the price of the wind farm's total cost, paid directly to agencies supporting your children, your grand children and their children. ONE BILLION DOLLARS is a lot of money compared to some small up-front payment a Wind Farm Developer may guarantee today. It is highly unlikely they will be willing to guarantee a billion dollars once the wind farm is actually making money for their investment groups and stock holders: their family. And they have to report to their family the 50 ways they put the screws to you to squeeze out higher earnings. We do. At Gold Pact Power, we see things a little differently; YOU, THE LAND OWNER AND YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR SCHOOLS, YOUTH AND FAMILY AGENCIES AND YOUR CHILDREN are our family we answer to: both the families providing the land to make the power and the cities, towns and communities that buy the power. At Gold Pact Power we care about the children who graduate from our high tech classes, planning on working for us and for other high tech and energy firms. They are our family too and we all prosper when they prosper. YOU ARE OUR FAMILY and that commitment is why we are the first wind farm developer struggling communities and foreign nations turn to when they want the best long term deal for their families and generations to come. We build more than wind farms; from desalinization plants and bio-fuel facilities, to electrified mass transit systems and educational facilities, Gold Pact has been investing in community developments since 1983, providing infrastructure build-outs based on intelligent, long range planning and ideas from teachers, youth and family agencies and the children and adults we serve. We have a good relationship with turbine manufacturers. Our Vice President has been buying turbines and blades from a variety of manufacturers all around the world for 20 years. I've personally met with GE blade and drive train engineers, been trained by a NASA Physicist and trained with GE Reps. While most firms understand the mechanics of a wind farm lease, at Gold Pact Power, we understand the mechanics of operating a generating station with high up time ratios. In fact, I've personally designed plant operations and audit software that was so effective it was used by Edison to run the Safety Monitoring, Work Orders and Audits of a three station nuclear facility, bringing it into compliance with the NRC. You may not realize this, but many of the "U.S. Wind Farm Developers", even those listed above, are actually foreign corporations. Which means their profits not only leave your communities, they leave the Country, taking with them jobs, standards of living and the economic future of our nation. It is similar to math to buying oil from foreign nations; they win and we lose. Gold Pact Power is and always will be an American Firm with American Interests in American Families and American Farmers and Ranchers. Before you sign a lease with any Wind Farm Developer, whether its with Gold Pact Power or someone else, we ask you to shop around and compare contracts, sit with your CPA and your Attorney, have them call us, do a little research and finally, do the math to see exactly how different contracts affect your near term future and long range goals. Our contracts are simple, you are paid from gross earnings, not some complicated formula involving deductions. Gold Pact Power revenue streams are steady and reliable. After you've shopped around, come back to the family who cares about the families we serve. Gold Pact Power is there for you and always will be. Sincerely, Craig Mead: Founder and Chairman Gold Pact Power
I want your school woodshop classes to offer wind
generator blade carving classes. I want your youth centers to be
flooded by our Free PCs for Kids programs. I want you involved
in after-school programs that help you develop the technical
skills that are important in this Century, from computers to
energy to wind power, web site development, marketing and
accounting skills, we have classes
to teach you a variety of skills.
I want you to take a moment and think about your future. Do you
want to be rich and have your own business, or do you want to
work for someone for the rest of your life?
Many kids think that a college education alone will make them
rich. It won't It will help, but only you and your inner drive
can do that for you. Many millionaires do not have a college
education, but they are persistent learners. They study all the
time and then apply what they learn to the real world.
THAT is what will make you rich, both mentally and
financially. Study hard and apply what you learn to the real
world.
Whether you are 10, 20, 40 or 90 years old, you can teach
an old dog new tricks and you can teach a young pup things that
will help them for a lifetime. I want to help you help your
neighbors, schools and youth centers by passing out CDs in fund
raising drives for your schools - we provide the CDs and your
schools keep 100% of the profits.
I want you to help yourself by learning people skills, shaking
hands with neighbors, getting involved with marketing and sales
programs that benefit both you and your community, developing
classes at both your local school and after-school programs at
youth centers, Boys and Girls Clubs, even your own garage can be
a computer lab teaching hundreds of other kids in your
neighborhood how to become high-tech leaders.
It starts with you and your decision to grab life by the teeth
and shake it for all its got. I've worked with you rug-rats for
30 years and whether you are smart or slow, good looking or full
of acne with a candy bar stuck in your mouth doesn't matter. The
outside of you, your appearance does NOT matter nearly as
much as what is inside your head and your heart and the amount
of cash in your wallet and the gleam and passion in your eye.
If you want it, you can have it, whether its a new car, a new
home (I bought my first home at age 19) or a better life for you
and your parents. By the time I was 16 I was already earning
more than my single hard working mother. I had $132,000
saved, in the bank at age 19. I hustled starting at age 10
throwing newspapers, mowing lawns, trimming trees and doing yard
work and any work I could get my hands on because I wanted to
not only make money, but be outside with time on my hands to
enjoy it.
STOP AND THINK FOR A MOMENT. What kind of life do you want? What
kind of future? What kind of family values are important to you?
If you like helping other people, I want to meet you in class
and then I want you to teach that class and become a leader in
your community. It doesn't matter if you are strapped to a wheel
chair or can do a 100 yard sprint in under 10 seconds. It
doesn't matter if you are poor and don't have a computer at
home. I will help you get one and then help you get one for
every kid in your neighborhood.
I will help you if you can help yourself by getting motivated
and getting out there, on the streets and helping other people.
Those are the kind of people I consider my friends. Those are
the kinds of people who are rich, both inside and out and those
are the kind of people who like the life they have created for
themselves and those are the kind of people that other people
like to have around.
Adults are a pain-in-the-neck. I know. So the best way to get
them off your back is to take charge of your own life in a
positive manner and tell those pesky adults to get lost. Tell
them that you have a successful business and then when they
stick their nose in your business, smile, be nice, and offer to
teach them a trick or two about how the game of life is really
played.
Take life by the teeth and never let go. Help others and your
life will explode with both meaning and money in ways you never
imagined. You will become a central powerhouse to both the kids
and the adults who shake your hand.
It starts with a simple task: write to me
personnally, sign up as a student, obtain the CD and let me teach
you to help others. Along the
way, help yourself to a lot of money, a great education and a
new life you can be proud of.
Now do something with that advice that does something for
YOU!

About our Engineers:
|
From the Air Force Test Pilots we were working with in the
mid-1980's while designing software to measure lift-to-drag
ratios, to the NASA Physicist who developed the initial
WindGenZen designs for simple airfoils, to the high speed
turbine designers who took them to a new level, the drive train
engineers who developed high MTBF equipment that surpasses
industry standards by more than a factor of twice the duration
between failures, to Welding and Structural Testing facilities,
material scientists, utility grid operators around the world,
Gold Pact Power delivers experienced teams and world-class
designers. Our airfoils alone are an example; we have profiles never before released developed from specifications and discussions with a 'SpyPlane' aeronautical engineer and tested by the crew at KCK for performance. When San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station was in violation with the NRC, Gold Pact Software Engineers developed the Audit and Operations software applications to bring the plant into compliance within three months. When Apple Computer wants to drop-test their laptops, they use the same third party independent material scientists we choose. When the Government wants to design a Tomahawk Missle Launch Tube, an underwater mass-transit system or Linear Accelerator Mirror system, they choose the same structural engineering and welding spec team we use. When Comcast or AT&T wants to expand their fiber-optic network, they hire the same tower and cable engineers we use. When AC Delco is releasing new equipment for NASA Astronauts, they train on our systems. We deliver the best systems, proven equipment, software and personnel drawn from each industry, to serve our valued customers and service our contracts. When Sandia Labs and General Electric developed airfoils for commercial application based on data that is nearly 10 years old, Gold Pact developed a design that cost less than twice as much, but delivers more than twice the strength using modern structural ribbing techniques developed and available only in the past two years. Lighter, stronger, with a higher modulus of elasticity, our designs can take punishment other airfoils shy away from. When we heard a GE Engineer complaining about drive train/gearbox problems (not their generators, which are some of the best on Earth), we took the matter to our lab and working with a team from around the world, developed a far superior drive train that delivers zero downtime year after year after year and provides much simpler maintenance in remote locations where heavy cranes may not exist.

We love hearing from customers, students and parties interested
in Wind Power and Community Based Wind Farms. Please contact us and sign up as a student, study the classes on the CD, and let us know what sort of plans your community has for wind power. It is surely one of the most effective methods of reducing fossil fuel consumption and cleaning up the environment and can be a profitable venture for the land owners and local community co-ops that undertake developing a wind farm. At Gold Pact Power we look forward to helping you along this path. Thank you for dropping by.
