Just another story showing the growing interest in alt energy

http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/04/0447231

Just thought some folks would like to see that many others are talking about and considering the viability of small scale backyard projects.  I would say DanB and company have positioned themselves perfectly to capitalize on this growing trend.  Congradulations, it is good to see such success from hard work and foresight coming to deserving folks.  Enjoy wealth in all manners of fashion.

Boy I wish I was paying 2.2 cents/KWH. Right now at 11 cents/KWH and the power company is crying poverty and wants a 30% increase. The guy that wrote the artical is lucky, not all of have such luck, coarse it does make it an easier disission as to if it's worth it or not!!!!

Just my slightly less than 1KWH's worth(in Minnisoda anyway)

Yep, I'm running at least one gennie now.
Nope, I like the solar panel byproducts just fine.
Nu-clear and coal be good 'nuff for GWB, so it be good enough for me.
No way, builiding wind gennies sounds like having teeth pulled for fun.
