Apologies if you already have this at the Live Earth website. Here's a great idea. Give us a cost comparison calculator of sorts. A live hands on for solving actual daily energy scenarios. Case in point:
September 2007 - 30 gallons of oil left in old 1940's (possibly) 275 gal. oil tank. In Basement. Small leaks occurring on intake and perhaps in basement floor. Peerless boiler around 5 years old with hot water baseboard heating basement installed for 1st and 2nd floor living. Electric on "3rd" floor.
Homeowners weighing options:
a. Pump tank out. Get Tank out of house. Clean up area. Get new tank. Fill tank. OR
b. Pump tank out. Get tank out of there. Do clean up. Convert to propane.
c. Pump tank out. All of the above. Go to solar.
Need assistance comparing costs. Tank can be filled at the cost of $651 in today's dollars. How can we make better use of that $651?
