Solar Your Way Into A Paycheck

Well, not exactly, but close. You can find out about those pesky and elusive government grants for energy saving home improvements. Or if you like, a green mortgage. Yep, they actually have those. These are on a federal level, so do a search for your state and see what they may offer locally.

You can do solar or wind or both. You can get free consultations from big companies like Home Depot if you don't want to do a small DYI project and take advantage of the above government incentives to go green.

Oh yea, and that paycheck part... When your batteries are full, the energy you create must be (by federal mandate) sold back to the utility company. Wouldn't it be nice to get a check from them instead of a bill? You bet ya (sticking it to tha man). But they only pay you half what you get charged for a kilowatt hour. But hey, its better than nothing!

We're going to be doing the green mortgage when we buy a house... if I ever can decide on one.

So that solves the energy crisis. We'll tackle water later.
