Separate names with a comma.
You aren't getting it. The word 'Free' means paid for by someone else.* Thus it is a word with actual use. If nothing was free why would we...
Nope. If you are wasting it, you are wasting it, and payback doesn't enter into it. Efficiency is USEFUL work per energy consumed, not ALL work....
That's what 'free' means.
Can you give your numbers? It seems strange to me that in Maine with much less sunlight, lower electric prices, it can be economic, but not in...
Avoided kWh * cost per kWh. Around here one merely reads avoided kWh off one's second meter. Others may need to find a different way.
Not sure, what does a base charge represent? The minimum payment represents a the delivery charge on 50 kWh at %0.213 per kWh. I pay this even...

Most emphatically not!. Of all the topsoil that has been created over the history of the planet, half of it has been lost in the last 150 years....
Both of those things can be composted to produce the fertilizer needed to grow new food. Without that, fertilizer will need to come from...
Bio-waste is a term that would probably be best avoided. 'Re-purposed fertilizer' might be a more accurate term, and makes clear that there is no...
I would highly recommend using it only. It costs more but ethanol attracts water which can corrode your fuel system and cause costly repairs down...

I like. Though the white wheels would never work for me. Silver Pine Mica is the name of the color. See my sig for what I did with my Silver...
