Yes it is, when you ignore the cost of the free labour and most
of the components of the system's you're installing.

Take the wind turbine in last weeks episode; "Only a few hundred
quid." Yeah, right, if you ignore the cost of the tower, cabling,
control gear and battery bank. In actual fact, that installation
would cost between ten and twenty thousand pounds if you had to pay
for everything, and the pay-back time approaches infinity. Always
assuming that the planners would let you put it up in the first
place.

And as for his bonkers "everything synthetic is evil" wife ...

Not averse to using polythene bottles for her creams and potions though,
is she ?
