| our's come from the power plant on the coast. it sucks cause we loose power alot. they can devert it to a smaller power plant in lousiana but it can't handle much of a load. hurricans and tornadoes play hell on us. that's why i have my own 120k.w. generator for my house. | | | | Aug 21st, 08, 10:12 PM | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Millington, Tn

| we don't get enough wind around here for that, ms. state has a agriculture testing station around 30 miles from here and they installed some a few years ago for irrigating there testing crops, If my in-laws are around it would work fine. lol!!! | | | | Aug 21st, 08, 10:19 PM | | Poor White Boy Join Date: May 2008 Location: south of the mason/dixon line

| solar works great though, I think in a few years that is really gonna take off. once they get the storage system smaller and the price down. a 2200 sq. foot house would cost around 15,000 | | | | Aug 21st, 08, 10:32 PM | | Super Moderator STAFF Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: moulton,alabama

| That is just what that turd T Boone Pickens wants it to sound like. He is heavily invested in wind power schemes and he is looking for government money to pay for it. If wind power was cost effective, T Boone wouldn't be wanting to share the risk with everyone. Check your wallets at the door folks. | | | | Aug 26th, 08, 09:23 AM | | Super Moderator STAFF Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: moulton,alabama

Check your wallets at the door folks. oh yeah i'm not sending him any $$$. but i think it's great that people are putting ideas out there. i've been looking at solar for my shop just to run the lights ( 12v car battery with 12v solar panel and 12v lights that can be found at any auto parts store ). | | | |
