Say no to monopoly, say yes to energy "independence". Or at least to lower energy prices; since money's fungible, substitution is the next best thing to being there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-90312169555396494262009-10-21T18:21:56.788-04:002009-10-21T18:21:56.788-04:00Put a windmill on your property and watch your nei...Put a windmill on your property and watch your neighbors asymptotically approach apoplexy...<br /><br />Then put up solar panels and wait the decades necessary to pay back the sunk cost, and hear your neighbors laugh themselves silly behind your back.<br /><br />*My* idea of energy "independence" would be one of *these* babies in the back yard:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_Power_Generation<br /><br />Heh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-60216922427665035232009-10-21T07:24:00.454-04:002009-10-21T07:24:00.454-04:00Could you find a better place for wind and solar p...Could you find a better place for wind and solar power?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-67048839958306243362009-10-21T06:17:08.155-04:002009-10-21T06:17:08.155-04:00No plush office, and she's working at the Angu...No plush office, and she's working at the Anguilla National Trust office.<br /><br />Her name is Beth Barry.<br /><br />I suggest you ask for both the Business Plan and whatever else she can send you by email.

Does anyone know where this wind farm is going to be located - offshore, at Wallbalke, Scrub Island, Blowing Point? Has anyone done any site testing to see whether this is economically feasible? How much will ANGLEC have to pay for the electricity it buys from RECorp - will it cost less or more than the power generated today? <br /><br />Nice sounding idea, but hard to believe no one has heard anything about all this - only in Anguilla!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
