And Television Watchers? Can Television Watchers chime in?
Seriously, has anyone seen "Living with Ed"? < http://www.livingwithed.net/ > I love that show! :bigthumbsup:

Short description: The show has some great ideas that "regular" people can do to save energy and make energy. Ed Begley is married to Rochelle and lives down the street from Bill Nye (the Science Guy). Ed & Bill are always competing to see who can come up with the best "green" additions to their houses. For example, Ed rides a bike to make energy to power his toaster. Bill designed a mop to dust the solar panels on his roof. Meanwhile, Rochelle (the lovely wife) hates anything that doesn't look good, so there's some tension that keeps the show interesting.

Back to the topic: :cop: Ed installed a small wind turbine on his house. It's compact and looks sort of like a can on a stick. It doesn't have blades, like the large windmills do, and it seemed to be very quiet. Maybe the architectural committee would approve the use of individual small wind turbines? :dontknow:
