Why are people always thinking of the same ways to make things happen? Why not get a bit more creative and try to harness the energy from lightning strikes? One big bolt could power our entire town for a long time.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes things are necessary for the common good.
Winter months on the bay have considerable wind. The verticle turbines are less likely to sustain the damages. Solar panels have had a number of improvements, they have become much thinner, they are even made like shingles now. The cost is still high.
When is the last time you priced a wind turbine and infrastructure?
ok robert, how does my statement about the feasibility of turbines in the bay lead to your jump of nimbyism? you really must not be following the conversation. or, you're just looking for any excuse to throw caustic responses to those not in your political party, or those who wanted to live closer to where they work. am i wrong for not wanting to use fuel to drive from the north to work in the south??
i'll make easy for you to understand. turbines would never be in the bay because they wouldn't be able to generate enough energy for roi. roi means return on investment.
Nimby? that is your statement above, not mine. still trying to figure out your view of the bay from DFS. maybe you and palin share the same ocular abilities. ocular means having to do with eyes.
this statement is one of many justifications for my having voted against you in the election, and any future elections, should you run again. it makes me question your actual priorities with regard to holding an elected position. elected position means something you do not have.
it seems it's all about you at this point. coupled with your prior statement, the argument of north county versus south county is fueled by statements like this. good job with furthering the stereotype.
happy fixing in '09.

Just can't let it go!!! My yard? You mean my woods? I like the Mosquito control coming around!
The plan I'm looking at says it costs $300, however, I already have some of the materials needed. Before I moved back home when my mother died, she had rented the house out. One of the former tenants had gotten a $700 electric bill, and this was in the early 80's. I have been able to cut it in half by improvements I have made, but I still want to bring it down more.
