Crisis, what crisis?

Spent a good deal of time looking at solar and wind for the house after a friend alerted me to the fact that even Costco is selling the stuff.
Look, before we decide that turning over the east coast to the oil companies is the only way to save our gas guzzlin ways, maybe we oughta read up a little on the future of energy.
It’s pretty clear that microgeneration is one way out of this. The formula to see if you’re location is prime for wind power, for instance, is based on a kind of 11/11 rule — 11 miles per hour wind speed average and 11 cents or more per kilowatt hour. But that’s going to change a lot when you factor in plug-in electric and hybrid cars and $5-7 a gallon gas.
If I could power my house and my car (and maybe sell some power back to the electric company when the wind is good) the whole equation changes.
