Hey chazel, solar power in the uk is fine thanks to gloabal warming, if you had a couple of these turbines + solar power and a big battery bank, you could use the solar power mainly during summer and the lot during winter, im seriously looking into this & will be watching this thread closely

was watchin that - its not easy being green < haha they dont even know how close they are to the truth - but that dude blasted 15 grand getting panels fitted and the gov gave him 2 and a half towards it.
also says goverment are paying double what they did last year for surpluss energy , i think if u were to have wind , solar and water , especially here in rule britinia , ud have no worries

i say boozed up bams!
traffic cones and such just are'nt exciting enough for em anymore - where theres a will there's a way , took so long tho to only damage 2 blade and break 1 they lost interest . .. and headed off in the direction of the nearest garage for ginsters late night treats

This thread is awesome. I love all the green ideas/etc here at RIU. The only thing I don't understand is why the world charges so much for going green when it's something we NEED to do. I realize it takes time thinking the ideas, and that costs money.. but I feel it should be a bit CHEAPER to go green, to make the world care even MORE. At least then if they didn't care about going green..and only wanted to save some money.. they'd be FORCED to help the earth! ha! just my 2 cents.
sorry to hijack man.. thanks again for sharing the link and info man!!
