Hey renewables does anyone know how the EECA Distributed Generation subsidy is working?

Hives! I plan on getting one for the 09'/10' season! Woo! Tips?! There's a BEE workshop at the spring food festival - I'll have to attend :)

Timely! I have just written an article for World Sweet World, which went to print yesterday, so there's a start!

Hi Fellas,
Perhaps you could make a submission to Instructables- a website for show and tell how-tos.

Nah bro, nothing has lost its life to my turbine (to my knowledge). Sounds like a wives tale :)

Apparently bees are attracted to little turbines because of the noise and they get all chopped up. You haven't noticed a pile of insect bodies under your windmill?

Actually... i am opting for a different system altogether. I'm interested in using the windmill to direct-drive a water pump which will supply energy to all sorts of machines around the place. The electrics are by far the most expensive part of any system so i'm gonna just avoid it altogether! we'll see
