Sounds like Nebraska legislators are really plugged into those coal burning generators and not interested in the 21st century .Too bad it could be an industry for employment insted of a welfare state. Am I crazy ????
When will the Nebraska legislatures get their heads out of their butts??
Or, the real question is when will the graft and payola be exposed and get Nebraska back into the 21st century when it comes to energy. Oh, and you thought only in New York and New Jersey are there payoffs?
Nebraska is so behind the times. The legislators make our state residents look like a bunch of idiots unconcerned about the environment. Alternate energy is a booming market and they are missing the bus.
an average cost of 54,000 is that a joke, perhaps we made a poor choice in moving here from new-mexico where our enviorment is a concern
This web page needs to be updated. NPPD finally passed a net metering rider in Sep 2008. http://www.dsireusa.org/library/includes/printincentive.cfm?incentive_code=NE06R
Basically from solar you get about $0.08/kWh in the summer and $0.035/kWh in the winter.
As far as I know though OPPD still does not offer net metering

I am writing to let people know about the Nebraska Solar Tour coming up in NE on October 3rd. It is part of the National Solar Tour, and will be a chance for people to tour energy efficient buildings and see renewable energy generation equipment in operation and visit with the owners of the equipment about their experiences with it.
The tour is being put together by the Nebraska Solar Energy Society, http://www.nebraskases.org, a non-profit education and research based group.
The tour is free! Please come to the tour and show your support of solar in NE, as well as gather information and become inspired. http://www.nebraskasolartour.org
