3. It's a good idea as far as it goes, but if the electricity comes from |

4. My husband is looking into this |

Now we have a wind generator--cost less than $1000--that will recharge all the batteries. Something for most anyone to think about.

7. My husband can't remember! |

He bought it online, and that's all he recalls. Sorry! :(
We got solar panels and the wind generator at the same time.

6. Yes, I'd be interested in the generator also. |

We have our Prius; I'm getting an overall 48 (all in-town driving - limited driving). I think about conversation, and this link will be helpful in my research.

9. Oh, tell him, "No problem!" |

We're planning an environmentally-friendly home; I'll be doing more research on it later this week.
Oops! I meant that we are thinking about converting the Prius later on!
Blessings to you, Ayeshahaqqiqa!
