about solar panels
I just googled "energy trust" and came up with lots of leads on where to get information. We got a grant from Energy Trust of Oregon, after the company we bought the panels from submitted the papers and request. I think there was something from federal gov., too, plus tax credits, both state and fed, which brings the cost down considerably. If anyone has questions, let me know and i'll be happy to help you find answers! I was really hoping we could get a windmill, but a study done by some agency or other says that we don't get enough wind here to make it worthwhile. I just don't believe that!... we consistently get quite healthy winds coming up the ravine! so, now i want to get some sort of wind meter to record what we get here.

Thanks, I'll do that. I like the idea of windmills too, but I don't think it would work for us.
i'm in vermont, anything you could find right off the top, would be wonderful.
i did look into it alot 2 years ago, but it was way out of our range. i didn't even think to see if vt offered grants.
that said, we spent all of last fall and some of winter living off grid. the worst part was no running water. a pain to dye and wash fibers i tell ya. but i did like dyeing on the wood stove. (just not so much the hauling water.)
