If you have not noticed, I am for reducing American dependence on oil, particularly foreign oil. I also support the use of renewable energy instead of oil for heating and transportation. My ambition, the dependence of propane is what he is in our household with my position and balance environmental ethics.

With more than $ 1,300 of propane in the tank – in winter – I thought it was high time to seriously consider installing a solar water system. Who will pay up to $ 2,500 per year ICC in propane cost? I wanted to continue the installation of solar hot water panels on site.

As I wrote that I thought I would pay $ 1.14/year/square walk home. How long does it normally pay for heating, hot water and cooking? We live an energy efficient home, economic (in 64 degree heat, hot water requirements and lower oven / hob use), so I think it might get less than propane. The estimated costs ranged from $ 15,000 – $ 35,000. Gulp!

The price range reflects different sizes and installation options. The cheapest option is not stored heat, and a relatively small group of solar panels for hot water. The more expensive for heat storage and a variety of solar panels.

If solar water heating cover 100 percent of our needs for propane, which provided the system is somewhere between 6 to 14 years, the cost would be paid for propane remained at the same level.

If you plan to live in this house “forever” I urge my big half to take the leap with me. We will integrate various alternative and renewable energy in the house next door.

Why is it just because you once drove a particular machine, this does not mean you do not want to drive again, given the chance. So when my second chance to make Can-Am Spyder recently presented, of course, jumped at the chance. I improved. What was once on the RS Spyder, 2009, which is the basic machine. This time I drove Spyder 2011 RT touring machine, which comes with baggage containers and passenger backrest. This extra weight can make a difference in treatment.

The Spyder is not a motorcycle. With two front wheels and rear is like a car. Turn the handle clockwise to the right, left left. No leaning like a motorcycle. And if a car like the Spyder right turns, centrifugal force will pull to the left.

The top of the RT was different. The RT model I drove was a manual transmission, but can also be achieved with semi-automatic, like a motorcycle that just turn the throttle. Right. The Spyder is much larger than it needs more visible to other users.

Seat big, big, and no need to set foot in the group when it comes to a stop, the RT is certainly a bike ride all day (sorry, roadster). The windshield is electrically adjustable and heated grips and cruise control are standard. The passenger will be more comfortable than the arms and padded backrest. The front of the stern storage and swallowed a large amount of luggage, and even a lock trailer if you need more luggage. RT is the base.

Even people who were born one hundred years after its creation to identify vintage cars from the Victorian era. When it comes to things such as vehicle safety, the difference is dramatic.

The first cars are nothing more than a seat, wheels, engine, and a way to drive. Gradually, manufacturers have added a roof to their models, and mirrors to see around and behind the car. Body was tight, too, provided more protection for drivers and passengers. Some manufacturers have begun to offer seat belts as standard in 1958, but it would take many years before becoming a standard feature on all cars. Fast cars have begun to communicate with other features designed for the occupants, such as roll bars, cages, armed organizations to protect, and things of that amount to reduce the smash vehicle accident .

Today’s seat belts in all cars, and many other cars equipped with roll bars or cages. With the advent of the formation of lighter bodies for cars, manufacturers of integrated design as “crumple zones” which are designed to impact on other auto parts. Once the car started to have computer components, even the security features the most advanced developed. Now there are cars that can automatically pause when a collision is detected, and even warns the driver when an obstacle behind the vehicle.

Today’s cars are far from the trap strong, the dust of death were the first cars.
