You would think that with the alleged increase in convective heating by the sun, there would be more wind and storms which would be good for T. Boone Picken's wallet. I have ten solar panels and a bank of twelve batteries in series plugged into a fifteen hundred watt inverter. It works pretty good. I like to be able to hear the house with solar power and remove the gas company from my life, but I need more solar cells and more amperage to get that done.

>Having just driven back and forth from central Texas to southern California through two of the largest windfarms in the US.. how are people going to react to the global/local climate changes caused by having the average wind speed reduced? TANSTAAFL

>>In spite of the dispute over warming and polar bears et al, it makes sense to me that we invest in cleaner sources of energy anyway. A solar and wind powered world would ideal, but is probably not completely practical.
