[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 76171, member: 2189"] Oh yeah I know but it get's even better. They will also lend engineering expertise and pick up some of the installation and component costs. The reason? If the technology developes as they see and hope, it would be far cheaper to using solar roofs, etc. collectively as a large generating platform than to try and get approval and then build additional capacity via a generating power station or hydro dam. I've attended several meeting with my electrical co-op on this along with others who are on the interested/waiting list and it's just a matter of the technology getting to where it needs to be to make that next step. As the issue of oil based energy becomes more and more an issue, I look for a variety of alternative systems to begin to come on-line around the country which is really a good thing. When it's all said and done you'll likely see a national grid driven by hydro, natural gas and nuclear with the additonal and growing of solar, wind and even some geo-thermal in a few spots. The days of one shoe fits all will go by the wayside which is a good thing IMO. [/QUOTE]
