Green Power

Oh, this is so much fun! Chris and I signed up to put in our solar power for the house. To optimize all the tax incentives and rebates, it won't be installed until after the first of the year, but it's in the works. We are so excited! Wait, you say, are these the same people who can't afford a new pair of Birkenstocks? Well, yes, but after a lot of research and some creative financing (don't worry, not *scary* creative financing) we can do it with almost no change to our overall cash flow. It's a grid tied system with net metering, which means we draw from the grid at peak usage times, and our meter spins backwards when we're producing more power than we use. We figure it's good for at least a little good karma.
