California electric to climb 33%

Solar is good, but not very efficient in many US locations.

Next year, I'm putting in a wind turbine (smaller, horizontal rotation) up on the property in NC. 4000 feet above sea level, right in the path of the wind from the west. Another guy has a similar rig on his property and it powers his 3000 ft cabin just fine.
 
Quote from Fractals 'R Us:

This thread sent me off in search of info on solar electricity. I found http://www.zenmanenergy.org/ and admired the cut of their jib so much I made a donation. I think they have the ideas for some tech that could bring a 100kW power generator into a back yard at cost low enough to make it attractive. If electricity is expensive and you are selling it to the grid then Karl Marx's ideas apply: they guy with the tech makes the money!

The last I read, you cannot sell your excess electricity to power cos. Furthermore, if you are able to sell the excess, there is a limit on the amount the elec co will buy.
