The power of wind

Look out world, I just signed up to pay a little extra and have my home powered by wind.  It's weird because it's not like they route the power from a windmill directly to your house.  The idea is that when a customer signs up, the power company ensures wind energy is delivered to the grid for that customer, displacing energy that would have been produced at a conventional power plant.

Quick, someone find me a tree to hug.

  2. No, the hemp chafes, but maybe I can wrap myself in recycled paper when I ride.

  4. Damn tree hugging dirt worshipper! Where did you get a wacked out idea like that? From a brewery tour or something?!?
    I think this is a great idea, and if more folks signed up then more windmills would go up. I also believe that there should be a huge tax deduction for solar electric panels on your house.
