Another Day, Another Dollar
Yeah right. Let's see a couple people die from cold exposure because a gas company shut off their heat. These warnings are to be ignored.

Silly.

xpanda said:I have, actually. I'm looking to buy a fixer-upper myself and convert it to wind power.
Now, I don't know how it works in the US, but here you get massive tax breaks for converting to wind and solar power (they are adding geothermal to the list among others also) PLUS the utility company will buy back your extra power. Take all of this into consideration and the system pays for itself in 18 years plus then you have free power for the rest of your time in that home.
