Consider the efficiency of burning a piece of wood in an open fire pit versus burning it in a closed boiler system. Which one release more of the energy in the wood.

If you think I went Shergil on you, you ain't seen nothing yet my friend. I will respect your opinions and perspectives to my dying day, but I do not respect the garbage baggage of pot shots. I can do that too, quite easily. I refrain from it. Hope you choose to as well. It isn't about a sense of humour. it just ain't funny. And certainly not worthy of your calibre of posting.

The bolded word in your post that was the most important was "anywhere". Speak to that first. As a poster has already indicated, it isn't feasible to stick a windmill up out in the blue and expect results. As for your lack of knowing what production cost are vis-a-vis the ROI, I suggest you look further. Might wake you up a bit.

As for the rest of your misdirections or blatherings, sorry, I am not taking part. You can research the issues of ethanol, and the mercury in the new wave of bulbs as easily as you can post your other links. You would any way. Again, this was all based on a skimming of your posts, and you have failed to rebut anything at all. Wood bats 0..... again.
