Sitka RainPower Project: Reduce your CO2 emissions
http://sitkarain.blogspot.com/2007/10/reduce-your-co2-emissions.html

http://sitkarain.blogspot.com/2007/10/unit-0.html
Sitka's ample rainfall gets turned into electricity at the City-run hydroelectric stations of Blue Lake and Green Lake. There's zero emissions, and it's getting renewed every time it rains. Just one more reason to love our weather! Raven Radio interview: "Green Energy". City of Sitka (electric info). Sitka Global Warming Group. Alaska Is Global Warming "Ground Zero".

http://sitkarain.blogspot.com/2007/10/keep-oil-system-for-backup-and-conserve.html
Keep the oil system for backup, and conserve electricity. This dream scenario of cheap, clean "rainpower" may not be here forever.
