Solar/wind?
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher saying something like: Neither wind nor solar make any real economic sense in a domestic situation in the UK.. They do if you make them yourself and I thought this was a DIY group. They make no sense at all if you have to pay somebody to manufacture and somebody else to install them - perhaps at 200usd/barrel they might, but not even then, I think. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "It's a moron working with power tools.

Solar/wind?
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "dennis@home" saying something like: I want a DIY way of drilling a 75m borehole in mud stone if anyone has any ideas? I have an unused borehole I'd be willing to sell - it's about 150' deep. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "It's a moron working with power tools. How much more suspenseful can you get?" - House |

I'm sure he would gladly accept half of the hole, but it must be delivered in one unbroken length. |

Have you ever tried to send a hole by carrier? Not easy, I can assure you. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "It's a moron working with power tools. How much more suspenseful can you get?" - House |

How can that not make sense? you have to eat to replavce the energy you use in manufacture/installation.. Food is energy as well. |
