Will Airstreams Renewables windmill technician training program be a good investment?

admin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:07:18 +0000

I’m looking to get into the wind field and am considering going to this program. It costs $4700 plus more for living expenses. I was wondering if anyone in the industry knows about this program and if so what impression do they have of the training.

Isn’t Nancy Pelosi and the Dem’s trying to get money into the pockets of Big Green?

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:51:07 +0000

By this I do not mean the Hulk. I mean solar, wind, and natural gas companies. We just heard that Pelosi owns shares of Clean Energy Fuels, a natural gas company. These environmental extremists also want windmills in every backyard and solar panels on every roof. This obviously benefits the companies making the products. So it is safe to say that Democrats want to get money into the pockets of their friends in Green Energy, no?

Has anyone ever had any real luck with Solar rebates, and credits.?

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:48:59 +0000

After researching for years on a grid tie for my house, I saw CT offered a solar rebate of $5 watt for the first 5000 watts. and $4.30 for the rest up to 10,000 watts total.

It has now changed to $4 and $2.50 based on above numbers.

The problem is they require you to use one of their installers.

For people like myself who have built additions, wired subpanels, and done electrical work, and are general do it yourselfers, we lose out..

For a $6500 Mitsubishi system COMPLETE with top of the line parts, I could get one for about $5.35 /watt for the panels, and $3,000 for the grid tie invertor,,

With the CT rebate I would pay about $7,000 to $8,000 for this system.

But going through one of their required installer means I am paying $36,000+

It’s 2 days worth if install.
So $29,000 for labor sounds rediculous.
Also, the rebate doesn’t even go to the consumer, it goes directly to the installer.
Of course the installer is going to price it to make it look like your getting some sort of deal, but it still will cost you about as much as if you just purchased the system on your own..

CT clean energy fund is a scam.

Just wondering if anyone else has better luck or experiences with this elsewhere…
I meant 6500 watt Mitsubishi system.. not $6,500

Hard science and soft humanity: At home with Ian McEwan
‘Bald, short, fat, clever”, Ian McEwan’s latest protagonist gorges on junk food, routinely cheats on his myriad wives and lovers, robs a dead employee of his breakthrough ideas about cheap renewable energy, and rests in his randy, portly way on the laurels of the Nobel Prize in physics that he won many years before. Surely no biographical truth could ever match this florid fiction? Yet McEwan …

University of Toledo fights to outpace solar power rivals
By JOE VARDON BLADE PROJECTS EDITOR Last of three parts The research in solar energy and specifically thin-film photovoltaics at the University of Toledo is a sense of pride on campus, a selling point for state officials to solar companies, and is recognized by many solar-industry insiders throughout the country. “The University of Toledo pops up even on my radar screen, and I don’t have any …

What do you think of a stadium that generates power?

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:43:32 +0000

I think they should make new building codes around all professional sports leagues that the new stadiums should generate electricity. If the owners expect tax payers to build or renovate stadiums for them, the least they can do is give something back to the community besides entertainment. I believe all stadiums should be retrofitted with solar panels, helical wind turbines, and geothermal heating pumps. In addition, they should use CFL’s for the flood lights and LED’s for the hallway lights in the concourse. Further, I feel they must all have methane digester toilet facilities, ice cooling air conditioners, and rainwater collection systems. If the San Diego CHARGERS want to live up to their name, they should do that rather than CHARGE the municipal government higher tax dollars to build them a brand new stadium. All these stadiums could be mini power plants. Plus, they could use all that extra revenue to pay off the stadiums and bring more commerce to the franchise. What do you make of that idea?

That mat sounds phenomenal. Plus, I saw a special about two ladies that made some revolving doors that generate electricity. How about the revolving gates to the stadium doing the exact same thing. Maybe that college kid could invent some turf that generates electricity from the players running around on it. Or they could run along that mat on the sidelines during their warm-up routines.
