Thanks Keith, I will pay attention to developments. Chiri, this is what I have been hearing, but then a trusted and smart friend of mine recently informed me that he was about to set up panels and scoffed at my objections. So I dont know what to think. Personally, when I am in the campo, I could care less if there are no lights. I go there to get away from lights and noise and computers and tv. But the family wants their juice, so I am looking into ways to provide it without depending on the govt or on dwindling supplies of petroleum. Wind power is giving me the same headache. There has to be solution. Look at the Japanese: they have these new windows they install in skyscrapers -- and homes -- that double as solar panels and also add color to the building. Brilliant. My feeling is that govt's are still not pushing enough to improve the technology, otherwise we would be enjoying cheap and plentiful power by now.
