Bah Humbug

Merry Fucking Christmas

On an unrelated note I came across this on a list of 25 gadgets that actually save you money:

A Residential Windmill
Sample Model: Skystream 3.7
Price: $8,500 (including installation)
Time Until Break Even: 8 years

If you want to be “king geek” in your area, few things will top this. $8,500 will get you a windmill on top of your house, which can, by itself, take care of almost all of your home electrical needs. It looks like a high-tech antenna up there, quietly whirring away, using the wind to provide your juice. For an average household, the device will pay for itself in eight years; after that, it’s all gravy. Plus, you’re helping the environment by almost eliminating your load on the power grid.

Sometimes, you can buy gadgets to save money.

Why doesn’t everyone have one of these then? Lazy fucking bastards, get involved! I’ll get cracking on mine with my saw and soldering iron as soon as the council gets back to me on that allotment business.
