3. It's a good idea as far as it goes, but if the electricity comes from
a coal fired plant out in the boonies, the pollution is just displaced. Combine this with renewable energy sources and you've got a plan!

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!
