You obviously don’t understand the “mechanics” of a BM. If you had been raised in a rural farm setting, you would understand that squatting is the natural way to have a BM.

Comment on Freetricity: Another great small wind solution by Phil

Freetricity is a total scam – stay away – I honestly believe Carl pays Marshall or is actually Marshall. This man is the worst businessman I have ever dealt with in my life !! No windmaster and nothing but excuses for months- then try to get a refund – even worse – no calls back – he won’t answer the phone- and then when you do get him he promises a refund – sends a bogus email and never sends the “check”. This man and his “company” need to be investigated!! Take stock in the BBB report- I should have, my mistake. Only do business with companies with a good rating and standing. Beware for your own good.

Comment on A real live urban windmill by tom | tall clover farm

Nicholas, I just saw a brand new vertical windmill installed in West Seattle on Fauntleroy across from Lincoln Park. It’s in the front yard and imposing in size and presence, oh yeah and unabashedly ugly. I would think neighbors, no matter how forward thinking, would hate it. I’ve seen some that are works of art, but this one looks like it was built from Legos and giant shell pasta sprayed painted blue. Would love it if you took a look and post a photo and your thoughts.

That’s part of it. But also the 40 miles is not the range. It’s the range on the battery. Once the battery power is depleted the gas engine charges up the battery again (while you’re on the move). So your effective range is greater than 40 miles. How much greater? Not sure and that is one of the big questions to be answered before we pop open our wallets.

Thanks Nick. I get what you’re saying, that most folks don’t need to drive outside of 40 miles in their daily commute, so it won’t be an issue and that we should build the infrastructure to support these vehicles. However, does this mean that there are not electric cars that exist today that have a range greater than 40 miles? That is disappointing. Let me read through your other posts to see if I can find more info
