Triff,

Give me a long term, above market contract to sell electricity to a local utility
and I'd be putting up PV and wind turbines too !!


Yup.. That's what I'm doing here in Seattle. Working on a 7 Kw PV array on my home here. I can get it totally paid for in about 6 years with the FIT and tax credits.

After that, totally free power. In fact I can "island" myself from the grid if I have to and supply all of my power to run the house (heat, hot water and all electricity).

No fossil fuels at all.

Eric
