It's just that for many people, $4/month is a lot of money, and not all of them will feel the way that you and I do.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>TomTom Grayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14728522824855808421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262869.post-23416778548114755952008-07-21T12:28:00.000-07:002008-07-21T12:28:00.000-07:00Thanks Tom. I guess what I was getting at is that even if it cost $4.00 more, the long term payback makes $4.00 seem like a bargain.Dahcredynshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17687525897516386077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262869.post-62386366051801578282008-07-18T17:46:00.000-07:002008-07-18T17:46:00.000-07:00The $4 a month you mentioned won't hit people's bills until around 2014. Also, it will be outweighed by savings due to the wind-generated electricity displacing power from natural gas. Those savings are estimated at 3x the cost of the transmission lines.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Thomas O.
