Running electric

Do your homework regarding wind and solar. It is great in theory, but anyone I know that has dabbled in this finds maintenance costs negate any gains from this type of energy production. It will be viable someday and I am going to jump on that band wagon eventually, but it's just net ready yet. At least not what I have seen. Where I live, the utility will not pay for over produced energy either. If they did, that may change the economics of it.
