[Imc-g8-2005] solar and wind quote

[yossarian]

Hi,

I've got a costing quote from a guy who sells solar and wind gear. We 
may not want to go with this option, but it is interesting to see how 
much this stuff costs anyway; this gear should last something like 20 
years I think he said, except the batteries which don't last that long.

The gear from this quote would power a 5-laptop media centre for 3 days 
without any external power source, using all-renewables. In theory we 
could just get the batteries for this g8 and buy the solar and wind 
stuff later, when we have more cash, and it would still work out ok (we 
might have to buy a few more batteries if we went this way). The quote 
doesn't include any wind power (I think an oversight on Bob's part 
maybe) and I've emailed him back to ask him to stick some wind stuff 
into the mix.

I don't know where the pound key is on this keyboard so the last number 
on each line is cost.
