Especially if you have some land in Canada and manage to raise a significant bit extra, a Peltier energy harvesting system due to the difference in surface and sub-surface land temperature might be worth looking at to help balance the books longer term. The Aston Martin plant runs off one entirely but cost a fortune to drill a deep bore hole to get a large temperature difference, but then their building is huge and produces cars with enough power to run a town. Alternatively a small scale system building it into a wall to get the difference between the cold Canadian winter outside and warm inside might work well. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
