But close. We ran right up against the limit for it.<BR/><BR/>The problem with alternative energy is the initial cost. I've been thinking about wind turbines for years since the wind almost never stops up here. Recently I was told that Virginia offers grants to people for alternative energy, so it's possibly something we could do in the future.<BR/><BR/>For now though, just getting the building done by itself is expensive and stressful enough without adding solar panels or wind turbines. I'll be glad when it's over.Peter Hirschberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224645146558827186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972845678716329954.post-37408189463188381412007-09-26T20:20:00.000-05:002007-09-26T20:20:00.000-05:00Peter...I don't see any solar panels on the roof. ...Peter...<BR/><BR/>I don't see any solar panels on the roof.
