In the giving mood!! You Rock! How fun!
OMG! Molly and I are so excited. We are huge Jodi fans. Thank you! Are you going?
We went last night and had a blast. All four us had read the book and were highly skeptical that this movie would work, but we cried and laughed in the appropriate places and decided it did not suck (and also agreed that the ending still doesn't work). Thanks for the opportunity to go for FREE!
Cindy,
Did I mention that you and your colleagues can contact me via email at ronaldjfeyjr@yahoo.com, about the great new invention I described in yesterday's email:
This is a different-design power-turbine-for-a-water/stream-application invention - the design for which, I believe, is very good, and I think I can generate 100 KW or less with no problem from a small, cheap units.
Currently, electric utility companies buy electricity from each other, and from small providers such as co-generation plants and wind power operators, etc. The price they pay is around 3 or 4 cents per Kilowatt Hour.
Here is what the revenue computation looks like for EACH stream-power unit (by the way, the full analysis would include operation costs, but those would be very small): The revenue from selling power back to the utility grid is 100 Kilowatts (continuous duty) x 24 hrs per day x 364.25 days per year x .03 $/Kilowatt Hour = $26,200/yr.
Regarding how much Each unit would or could sell for - typically, investments-that-generate-revenue look-pretty-good if they make enough to pay for themselves (- meaning the "purchase price") within one year or eighteen months (or two years) from the revenue that they generate.
Thus, $26,200 (1 yr payout) or $39,300 (18 mo.'s payout) would be sort-of a good guess, at perhaps, a typical market price. However - obviously, If a person had themselves 10 units, they could also generate $262,000/year. So selling the units to others is not the only option. (Understatement: If I can put a few these along some small river, I think we might be able to well-up a little extra spending money.)
These units also notably, have no environmental impact, are relatively fish-friendly, and they are more stable (power-generation wise) than wind power units with respect to the following aspect: wind machines are mostly effective only when the wind periodically blows.
I thought you and your acquaintances might be VERY interested, and any help would be appreciated!
This is good Green commerce and responsible-energy-related!
Keep in touch! Thank you.
Love, RJF / "Bronco"
