I did not own them at the time of this thread. You helped me make my decision. Thank you for that.

And Capstone Turbine is up 20%. Take a good look there. That company is having a significant impact on the grid TODAY -- not in some future time if everything just happens to break the right way. In areas where grid kW are expensive, large users (such as hospitals) are putting in these systems right now -- not as backup generation but as their primary power. They easily pay for themselves in a few years, and the payback time is even quicker if they capture the heat in the exhaust to take care of their hot water needs.
