I thought about getting a windmill some years ago to supplement our electric bill. The cost of the windmill was $20,000 with $500 annual maintenance bill. So didn't see an advantage in doing it. We have bought solar panels that are placed at the electric co-op. That has benefited it.




Windmills would't work here, anyway. First good storm would take care of them.

Irma would have toasted most. Never mind a Dorian.


Who does the math on the solar panels? You, or the co-op?

Don't know that I'd trust them.

One of the best ideas I've seen or heard lately is what Mannlicher's son is doing with a small solar panel "farm".

A small plot of prepared land with the solar panels in a grid close to the ground, where high winds won't be such a factor.

Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.
