Bernie,

That is great. By the way, are they using the old style wind mills or the new style that looks like a 130 foot long squirrel cage that is mounted vertically and spins around a pole? That seems to be the coming thing is discussions around here as it has no blades to kill birds and generates the same amount of power as the other style. Also looks cleaner and they can be mounted closer together. Now the big fight is the environmentalists who wanted this type to start with don't want them to put any power lines to them as they would have to cut a right of way through the forests. Those people should just get in their big SUVs and go back where they came from.

I wish we had enough water to worry about overflow. We are already paying a drought surcharge and I don't think they are going to limit the water yet, but if you go over a set amount the price is beyond belief.

By golly, you will save the planet yet in spite of the rest of us.

Ron
