This. If you're going to blow $20K, at least do it on something that you won't have to fuck with every day.
Would take years to pay for itself, though.

How much electricity do you have to buy from the power co before they give you the rest for free?

Id guess around 51% of the company.

haha I have figured this bitch out. Check out my new miner running off free electric.

Feast your eyebags on this:

If you have solar or a wind turbine some other ability to generate "clean power" the energy companies in the US are required to buy your power at the highest rate available. They have to pick you over any other provider too. They have to install a meter and the equipment to regulate it for free. The meter runs backwards when you are generating and forwards when you aren't. If you have a surplus they credit you or cut you a check.

/ I have several neighbors with solar power who have <$20 electric bills year round.

Wind turbines installed on a truck don't make energy, they convert the fuel used to power the truck into electricity. You're better off running a generator. Or just installing the wind turbines on a hill.

Yes there is the upfront cost of the hybrid or electric car.

Also if you're rural, you could load a flatbed with a bunch of deepcycle marine or heavy equipment batteries install a few small windmills and gen packs then you'll be charging on your way into town to get groceries.

Both ides are fool proof. Plus you could charge your battery loaded flatbed at a charging station. Call it an experimental vehicle.

Of you disagree you have a better idear?

So you get free electricity by spending $20k on an electric car, or probably 3x that amount spent on a flatbed of batteries? (that will need replacing in less than three years). This is one of most bone-headed ideas I've heard in a long time. Wait, i take that back. Buying a 20k car just to have a battery on wheels that, in your scheme, would require a tow every day once it got a full "free" charge.

Oy vey.

Some people have no vision. If you think of this from a government spending point of view its Nobel Prize worthy.

The electricity isn't free because you're still getting it from the plug you numpty

hahaha + 1, thanks Lethn, I was due a good laugh

people are sheep these days.

OP why don't you just go the illegal route like the other retards do and bypass your electricity meter

Thanks!

Sarcasm has a lot of hang-time in some arenas. (My OP is intended as sarcasm(

wouldn't it be easier to run an extension cord to your neighbor's house?

This. Also, I suggest OP try http://otherpower.com/?q=Conservation/otherpower_experiments_bicycle.html

I'm too lazy. I'll force fat kids to pedal.

That all sounds very complicated. Why not just keep it plugged in where it is now, but mug a guy or two for the cash to pay your bill?

Now, you have good plan.

People just need to stop thinking mining is some kind of get rich quick scheme that they can make lots of profit from >_>

You cant?

Well if you implement my ideas as a business you sure could depreciate the equipment and maybe even get a $500million loan from barry's boondoggle energy projects.

Yeah, but only if your neighbor's name is Rube Goldberg.

The electricity isn't free because you're still getting it from the plug you numpty, it's like these environmentalists who claim that sort of thing is wonderful despite it coming from YEP coal! Which shows you just how much they really give a fuck about their precious planet.

You're thinking of it in the wrong way. Open your mind, let go of logic and the facts of the physical world and you will see the greatness.

I left out you could go to all the public schools and donate stationary bikes with gen packs. You could call it pedal for profit, its a win/win, the little chubbies profit from losing weight and you'd profit from the electricity.

And ruining that car in a VERY short amount of time.
