Thanks, Bob. 😀

Just fill out the form that opens.

“We actually host several open houses a year for the company that installed our solar system; usually at least one Saturday a month from May until August during the summer. We are far from a model home, We have a simple 1800 sq ft 3 bed -2 bath in a suburb of Los Angeles, I doubt we are worth having anyone write a story about us..

“We are currently working on a grey water reclamation system for the home as well since we are in a drought stricken area. The end goal being to reclaim all sink, shower, and dishwasher water; 150 gallon under-ground tank that with a filtering system that recycles the water back so it can be used for toilet flushing and irrigating the landscape.

“My personal take is that every home should be a self sufficient as possible,and in the event of an earthquake or other type disaster we are setup to be able to provide for ourselves as much as possible, I also have 200 gallons of emergency water storage.

“While living off the grid is not really an option in suburbia, I am as self sufficient as I can be while still being tied in to the utility services.

“I’ve done the math, and within 5 years from when we started (2012) we should have everything paid off and have a near zero utility expense for the next 20 years.. My utilities (water, gas, electric) were running ~$8,000 a year, I have cut the electric out completely, gas is reduced by 70% and water by 30% so far and the grey water system should reduce it another 30%-40%. So I am pulling that $8,000 a year down to about $1,000 for gas and water, and zero for electric.
Even with the small amount of maintenance or repair costs for the systems we have in place, it will never equal what we were spending annually just for the utility services, addition ally we have control over every aspect and the continued rising costs of all these service will not directly impact us.”

According to one of the authors on CT, storage is a “RED FLAG” when it comes to wind power tech.

/sarcasm
Awesome material coming from some of the CT ‘authors’ these days on such pertinent topics.
/end sarcasm

What changed in the last 2 years that CT now promotes authors who write hit pieces against renewable energy companies’ respective technologies?

See:

Have we come to advertising “date arab girls” such as the banner ad to the right column would indicate?

No company in it’s right mind would pay to advertise on a site which allows hit pieces to be written against renewable tech in this manner.

Food for thought.

Thanks! Want to do 1,000 times more, but do what we can. 😀

Where do you live Yuriko?

Zachary, hi, I work for TerViva BioEnergy, featured in a great post by Tina Casey and I’m trying to contact her. Is there a suitable email address or phone for your organization?

Thank You 😀

Typos happen. Unfort., we don’t have a full-time, or even part-time, proofreader. That said, I’m not sure what the problem is with the use of “only” in our email sign-up box. This is common placement of the word when you are emphasizing that word. Placement of words can change from their normal placement when being emphasized. But perhaps I’m missing something.

Awesome, thanks! 😀

We have a lot of people obsessive about keeping up with the latest news and developments 😀

Happy you like us 😀
