As I've noted in several posts on this blog, the day of the all electric recreational boat is coming. It's actually a more technically and economically feasible deal than electric cars. The drawback? As electric boats become readily available we'll start to see pressure for lakes and sections of rivers to be classified as electric only. No gas engines allowed. No more air and noise pollution. And this won't wait until all or even most of the current users of the waterway have electric boats, it will happen very early in the electric boat epoch. Those who own gas powered boats will start to find fewer and fewer places to use them and with fewer places to use them comes huge devaluation of gas powered boats making it difficult for these folks to afford to purchase a new electric boat (or get their gas guzzler converted?)
How much you want to bet we'll see a government program to help people cover the difference in their devalued gas boat and a new electric boat? It can be modeled on the similar government program to help people who had devalued horses purchase new gas powered cars. (Is this the government program that was a model for the government program that gave everyone $40 to help buy a new digital TV tuner?)

I am the kind of guy who enjoys to try hot things. Currently I'm making my personal pv panels. I'm doing it all alone without the assistance of my men. I'm utilizing the net as the only way to acheive that. I stumbled upon a truly amazing site that explains how to make pv panels and so on. The web site explains all the steps involved in pv panel building.
I am not exactly sure bout how accurate the info given there iz. If some people over here who have xp with these works can have a look and give your feedback in the site it would be great and I would highly appreciate it, cauze I really lav [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].
