I was reading this article on how little known programs allow homeowners to sell power back to the power company or at least get subsidies to produce their own power and I have to admit, this is a “dream” I have…
1. No consumer debt
2. Paid off mortgage
3. And the power company paying me instead of me paying them!
4. High Speed Internet… that’s the tough one where I live!
(Actually I had a home with solar panels once and the maintenance can be a bit tedious. Hopefully when I get to the point of reaching this situation again, I’ll be a little more organized!)

There is a Solar Power MLM that would let you work out of thehouse and provide a green source of power to millions of Americans- check it out http://SolarPowerMLM.com/

I think I’ve heard everything now!
Since your page says “coming soon” I’ll read more when it’s available. The problem with most MLM’s is that they have to sell their products at above any sane retail price. Look at Amway’s aluminum foil… I remember when it was more expensive than “name brand” aluminum foil! And that’s when there was 1) an established retail price based on wide market knowledge of a product’s relative value and 2 ) a huge number of distributors to buy it.
With solar, people don’t have a clue what’s “normal price” let alone what’s a rip off already.
And people aren’t ready for solar wide scale yet enough for MLM… plus you have a lot of local power companies who are very frightened that if you tie this into your home electric you’ll kill electrical line men who thought they were repairing lines without power.
Lots of hurdles to this one. But hey, I like alternative energy. I’ll probably read more when your domain doesn’t say “Free Hosting By GoDaddy.com”

Paul,
I got past your free hosting which looks really cheesy to the company’s site and this does look like it addresses a few of my concerns.
