These links are "weird" because they fall
into categories that are not covered (yet) elsewhere in The Dog House.
So
until there are dedicated pages for the categories below, I've swept them up over
here.
Welcome to the
Dog House Dust Pan.
(links will open in new windows)

Alternative Energy sites:
| While I've always
had an interest in solar power, I've now become a huge
proponent of alternative energy - especially grid-tied PV systems. I
currently have a PV system installed on my RV, and hope to someday add one
to my home (assuming the dictatorial homeowners association doesn't throw
a hissy fit). In the near future, I plan to have a section of my website that addresses
the benefits of distributed power generation.
Until then, below are some links that you might find useful. |
