Ideologically. I'm not one of those NIMBY's in regards to things like windmills. There are some plans for doing large scale wind farms offshore of Long Island, it's something I support and if should hit a ballet I'd vote that way too If I could put a windmill generator in my backyard I would, but currently they are against the zoning regulations in my town

On a slightly different note; how do you deal with the water waste problem? I saw a report from UNICEF about the dire straights of the worlds drinking water. Along with the MASSIVE waste of energy that reef tanks contribute, the wastefulness of perfectly good drinking water is hard to justify. I mean could you imagine, rising global temps. AND no drinking water
In my case I have a nice deep well with fairly clean water that only needs some simple deionizing, no waste water Even if I did have "waste" water, it could be used for watering plants and washing things
