Trace Sell back/ Payback Rant [RE-wrenches]

[John Blittersdorf, Cent. VT Solar & Wind]

Travis,
    It seems like every time I get into cost effectiveness and payback 
calcuations I get depressed.  I made up a flyer to give out discussing the 
economics of Solar Power and have decided to just throw them away.  It is too 
negative.  We have to accent the positives exactly as you described the Honda 
Mower analogy.  How may sport ut's, or double door refrigerators for that 
matter, are cost effective or have a reasonable payback time.  What we really 
need right now is 25 cent per kw unsubsidized power just as we need $4.00 gal 
gasoline.  I guess we have to wait 10 more years til the mother of all oil 
crisis hits.  In the meantime,  we march on.

John B.
