Brian,

That's great! It does answer the argument rather well. :)

On a related note, has anyone had any experiance with this company: http://www.citizenre.com/solar_renu_energy

It sounds like a good deal, solar power without the maintenance worries. After I get my roof reshingled I would like to check into this.

Jack
