Not just because you want to talk with that cute hippie chick about something you think she's interested in ... The companies who make microgeneration possible will make BEAUCOUP bucks. And please remember that the whole partisan left-versus-right show is a false dichotomy. Are people who don't want to rely on rubbing two sticks together to obtain all of their energy needs "conservatives"? Are people who don't want their livelihood as fishermen trashed "liberals"? Are people who want energy security - so that oil-rich countries can't blackmail us - "conservatives"? Are people who don't want to drink life-shortening, virility-neutering mud in their water "liberals"?
