What about rural areas and developing countries? Might it not be worthwhile to spend money on solar applications for those areas, since you aren't competing with the grid, you are competing with the costs to BUILD a grid, which makes solar look much more competitive. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
