Hi Brian,
I have done quite a bit of research on the powersave, wind, and solar. As far as the powersave everyone that has one has said they are seeing results while all the skeptics say they don't believe them.
lol. It's kind of like reading a solaris led thread on a reef forum. I figured i would give it a try for myself. The surge protection if nothing else was worth it. And i have some old appliances now that need upgrading.
I do believe the wind technology needs to mature a bit. This is a good link.
Wind-Works by Paul Gipe They review wind generators at wind-works. Very few of them pass their testing but some do. My dad has never had any troubles with his. It is an outdated model now but it's still turning. If you've ever been to WY you know that it is always windy here. This is why i believe it would be worth it to try here more than in some other places that dont have the volume of wind. At least the wind howling wouldn't be depressing anymore
lol.
As far as solar goes from what i've found the best panels are made by Sunpower.
SunPower - Smarter Solar » Smarter Solar And they are solid black so they look better on your roof. My only worries with solar are that we have a lot of cloudy "yucky" days during our long winters. Thanks for the info about how the panels worked in Alaska. This is good to know. There are flexible panels being made now that can be used in more obscure parts of your property.

Well again thanks for the info on the panels.
