Stirling Energy Systems I've been watching these guys. Looks promising. It still requires a huge amount of real estate though. Derek

i ran expense over current electric bill vs investment in equipment. it would take 46 years to pay out investment with tax incentives, without 75 years. and the calculation assumes you use your home equity to buy the equipment so it includes tax savings (assumes you itemized your returns) into calculations to arrive at 37% savings. i wonder what the maintenance costs over thirty years would be. warranty of equipment. does it include labor. do you have to replace some equipment ? electric into house there is no up front investment and no maintenance costs. i wonder if other equipment is required to wire up the product to your circuit breaker boxes, maybe that is included in installation? i didn't do a dcf (discounted cash flow) if i did the project would never pay out. I can take the $31,000 (51,000 minus 20,000 discount) @ 4% and get a return of $1200 interest income or dividend income. The company is great to take an itemized tax deduction into its calculation for savings why not take a penalty for loss of income on the initial money not available for alternative investments.
