I wonder if this would be legal to put up in my backyard...
http://www.skystreamenergy.com/skystream/product-info/ although it's $10,000, it'd more than pay for itself. |

QUOTE (impala454 @ Oct 15 2006, 08:56 PM)  eh depends on where you live... lubbock is closer to $0.10/kwh. either way, a loan for $10,000 with a halfway decent interest rate shouldn't run you too much more than this would save. The site also claims quite a bit of government rebates and such too. I would also guess it would generate a little more than average in Lubbock anyhow. Being hail proof would be my only major concern. Take a look at that link that I posted. It's probably more financially feasible. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
