Green is Expensive

May 2nd, 2008

My alarm didn’t go off early enough to get a run in this morning, so I only did one recovery run after work.  I ran 4 miles down to a “go green store” that I’d heard about earlier today.  The prices there were unbelievable!  They wanted more than $5k for a wind turbine that costs only $500 on the internet.  Isn’t that insane?  I was really looking for a gadget that could maybe power a t.v. or home appliance.  It’s hard to find anything small that can give you affordable solar power.  The turbine is best I could find.  Anyway, I’m glad I went, and I enjoyed my 4 mile run back.  I felt pretty strong doing strides afterwards.
