Those of you interested in green investments might like to know that I have just launched a new venture, www.solarclubs.com, which is a group buying website for domestic solar photovoltaic (pv) panels. As you may know, the government's current feed-in-tariff payments of 43.3p per kWh are extremely generous and will provide you with approximately 10% return on your investment in solar pv.
We now have solar clubs operating in East Sussex, West Kent, and Brighton & Lewes, offering around 20% discount on list prices for domestic installations.
We are also a portal for independent solar clubs run by green groups in places such as Wantage, Barnet and Reading.
Check it out now at www.solarclubs.com

Anybody want to buy a wind turbine in the Caribbean?

Paradise Bay Resort was the first hotel in the world that placed a utilitiy grade (80 kW) wind turbine on their premises. The hotel opened at the end of 2007 after facing big damages after hurricane Ivan. 9 months after opening the recession started , causing prolongued opening losses. Now, the hotel is preparing to upgrade the resort to 4* and offers the wind turbine for sale to finance this operation. The price of the wind turbine is 171,000$ and has an annual yield -guaranteed to be taken by the utility- of 17,100$. This is not just a good business opportunity but also helps an ECO resort that had a bad start.
