[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 616713, member: 9043"] Well when gas was 3.90 I read a newspaper article saying there was over 5 billion gallons of gas sitting on the Mississippi river with no where to dump it. The storage tanks around us were only half full. If I could get a 2000 gallon tank or even larger I would top it off today with fuel. Even if I paid $3.00 a gallon for on road fuel I would still top it off. I’m not planning on using a gas station till it hits $3.50 for fuel, I might weight even longer but I don’t know. It’s going to be 2 to 3 years till we see any decent change for the good out of the economy. The way I read this stuff one thing Obama is planning on is the widening of highways to put work in people’s hands. We will soon find out if it’s a step in the right direction. We are set up to net meter. We have 3 meters on the farm and 2 grid tie wind systems. I will not see a pay off on the system till 2015 and were installed 2005. Our turbines can put out 2 times what were allowed to back feed. We have had days we didn’t know the power was out till we went to use something 220. Were looking into a setup for our shop to be installed July 2009 but were pushing the power company to let us sell more KWH off of it because it’s a 400 amp meter not a 200 amp. But we will see what happens. Form Thursday on the way to take the kids to school till when I picked them up Friday after noon gas has gone up $.14. I know a Texaco that says they still have a full tank of high test that they paid 3.90 a gallon for sitting there. There are few people that buy better grades until the price goes up around us. For some reason I get the high test when it’s cheap and cheap stuff when it’s high. I’m anti wind mill when it comes to the larger units. There are over 300 of them that have been installed that have used more power to keep the blades turning then they have produced. Just because the blades are spinning dose not mean there making us power part of the time there using our power. [/QUOTE]
