We saw Avatar in 3D yesterday, and it was amazing!

The story is also very "actual", replace the rock (Unobtainium) with a 3 letter word ...

Too bad most Americans will not have made this link...

"This is why we're here," he explains. "Unobtainium. Because this little gray rock sells for 20 million a kilo. No other reason. This is what pays for the party."

One more week

And then we will have a well deserved 1 week break: Easter

Solar panels are on the way

We signed a contract to install a 10 Kw solar system which would give us about 18000-20000 Kwh a year. This is about 85% of our needs and maybe, just maybe, if we can get a bit more efficient ... 100% of our needs.

10 Kw system, 46 panels of 220W, 100m2 of panels, ground mount (not on our roof).

Project will be finished in about 3 months, in the meantime, the solar panel installer will pay for our electric bill in the meantime.

Taking into account all the rebates, and a 3% return on investments of the in solar invested funds, the return on investment would be around 8 years. Which makes this a no brainer. This doesn't take into account the added value of the solar panels to the house value.
