Hi I am just asking how much you think building a big creek on a 100 acre lot of land would be to build for a water turbine to make electricity, I wanna build a creek for hydropower generation, put solar panels to make power for water heating, have a well to save on taxes, use geothermal energy for heating and cooling the house, and wood fireplace for redundancy in the winter, 1 20 kilowatt wind turbine and a loremo car that uses 170 MPG of gasoline… how much do u think all that would cost? wanna make a wind,water, and solar system.
building a big creek and using it for water power?

I can’t answer for not seeing your land, but I can add. Be aware of regulations on how high you can make a dam without having an engineer involved. I have heard that it must be three feet or less in height (high from what I do not know). Good luck, and publish what you accomplish.
About the car, consider a comutacar. I have one. You can get them on ebay. When gas gets expensive as it did after Katrina, these start selling for 5 figures.
you cannot build a creek without a water source and i believe water turbines need the water to fall a good distance , so you need a lake and a dam not a creek, but if you had both those things you would get a creek too…. sounds a bit ambitious to say the least, you might be able to get or make something the shape of a Ferris wheel over a creek to generate power but you still need a creek and a water source
