Awesome! Why ...$800 to run a couple of light bulbs! Awesome! Why haven't I tried that myself? It's double my entire utility bill for a month, but I think it's worth the investment.<br /><br />Much like the energy efficient bulbs we filled the house with last year and half of them have already burnt out, at a cost of $10-15 each that were supposed to last a heck of a lot longer and save us money. <br /><br />Mind you, we didn't have time to find out if they saved us money because aside from burning out already, the electricity bill increased as well so that made it pretty difficult to figure out our actual savings but I bet it was huge *rolls eyes*.<br /><br />Oh but there was a solar panel on sale in CT a few weeks ago for about $80 that could be used to charge cell phone and ATV batteries while on holiday (according to the ad). That sounds like a great investment too.KGouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537080163900313558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848541039913019341.post-77587321789755200002009-04-15T04:34:00.000-06:002009-04-15T04:34:00.000-06:00People who invest their own money in wind power ha...People who invest their own money in wind power have obviously never set foot in a Canadian Tire store. They sell a 400 watt wind generator for about $800 bucks, that will light a couple of bulbs when the wind blows. For about the same money you can buy a 5000 watt gas generator and run appliances anytime you want with a little bit of gasoline. It's no different on a grand scale.Philanthropistnoreply@blogger.com
