does anyone use alternative energy?

Hello! I am writing an article and would love a quote or two. If you use solar, wind, or water based energy as opposed to electric, I'd love to 'talk'... Please let me know. Thanks!

My scooter gets 65mpg, does that count? Smile

We have a solar hot water system. Installed it a year ago last April, mostly because we get out hot water off our oil furnace and it just pissed me off to hear the furnace come on in the summer.

OK, I'll go back to a NGF diet. Then you'll really see some "gas mileage". Laughing

We pay extra to our utility co. to use wind generated power. Without having a turbine in the backyard, it is one way to support and use alternative energy. We don't buy enough to subsidize our entire electricity usage, but are working towards it.

If it counts, my DH and I opted in for the plan to use bio-energy here in Germany.. (Wind mills, water mills, etc - not coal or wood)...

We have discussed using solar energy, but we would have to have some special permission to add panels to the apartment or anything. Likely would have to wait until we had our own place, but from what we both have heard, if we did this, and prove how much energy we save, we could get some kind of kickback from the government.

I've already submitted the article. And for the article, it was just natural sources like wind (turbines), and solar panels and that sort of thing. Thanks for all of the input.
