"For God’s sake, be economical with your lamps and candles! not a gallon you burn, but at least one drop of man’s blood was spilled for it."

Herman Melville, Moby Dick, 1851

In 2010, the cost is far greater than "at least one drop" of man's blood.

3. I replaced as many incandescent bulbs as I could in my house

with the new, curly florescent thingies. :)

When I can afford to, I will replace any and all fixtures that do not accept the new bulbs.

:kick:

5. You know there's a nice federal tax credit for solar systems right now?

I remember that you're looking into getting one.

Be sure to take that into account.

There may be state incentives and offsets available, too.

6. Ooo! I want a new solar system!

Does it come with hi-fi? :) Sorry, I just couldn't resist. :D :hi:

7. LOL! I once bragged about having a satellite and got a similar response.

Something about me not being large enough to have a gravitational field to keep a satellite in orbit around me.

Too funny!
