Round 2; Wrench-Referrals List [RE-wrenches]

[Todd Cory, Bald Mtn. Solar]

Carl has a very good point... how many of us have time anymore to give
out the details again and again only to have a prospect be shocked at the
costs and say no thanks. I think many of the leads are folks with a
romantic idea of "solar" and little information on conservation or
realistic intelligence on what is involved in the whole setup. A web page
with rough costs for rough kWh of production might act like a good
filter, so that the leads would be from semi informed and educated folks.
