I think we need a poll to determine what should be the subject of a poll...

What injuries have you sustained whilst pursuing your RE adventures?


A) I hurt my wallet.

B) I tore my pants once

C) Magnets pinched my skin

  1) once

  2) several times

  3) always when I handled them.

D) Magnets drew blood

  1) once

  2) several times

  3) always when I handled them.

E) Magnets made me lose a finger(hand/arm/toe/foot)

F) I cut my finger off with a circle saw (wink wink, nudge nudge, to whom it concerns)

G) A blade hit me on the head and I've yet got to recover my sanity

H) None. I let others do the dangerous stuff, like erecting towers and installing the generator & blades.


Admittedly, a bit tongue in cheek, but with a serious undertone. RE is neither free, nor without its risks.

Yes, that is the plan, they tell me:  It will get so hard to cross the border with all these passports and ID cards that the americans think we'll just give up and move in.

But we'll get even!  HA we'll start selling everything to china instead, how d'y'all like that!

Don't worry, we'll never turn off the taps, you guys are too nice (and persuasive).

No one believes the theory except the one who developed it. Everyone believes the experiment except the one who ran it.

How about I drive 20 miles free eating french fries for a week :)

 Eat More deep fried foods, America needs the oil!


That veggie oil works! Wish I had a diesel, my friend does!

I'll go to Canada without paying the USA  $100 for the passport, if they won't let me back in later who cares!


And I'll SUE THEM from Canada for Violating my right to return home to USA as a citizen!

how about a couple of items; from a flowing creek powering a turbine and to an old fashion wind mill and pump, then a solar panel powering something. Like a bolt electricity shocking the power companeies.  Each pole would have a number rising  as the ones using each system that are around the country or the world grow. On the bottom you could put someone tearing up the power bill they used to have.

0-24 hours 2-7 days, 2-6 months, 7 to 12 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc.  And/or what type of failure; electrical or mechanical.


Needs to be doubled up:  Intervals look good but should be something like:

 2-6 months and broke,

 2-6 months and still running,

That's kind of what I was trying to get at with the "And/or..." statement.  AND it's still running OR it's broke.

I'm new here, so maybe this poll has already been done, but I'd be interested to know how much other people are paying for electricity per kwh, in other parts of the country, and other parts of the world, if this isn't getting too personal.

 I seem to remember reading somewhere that it costs alot more in areas of high population density, like the east coast of the U.S. I'm just curious to know if there is much a difference.

Cheers!
