Anyone interested in being interviewed?

in Grid Tie and Grid Interactive Systems #1
Hi everyone,
I just started a new website where I plan to interview people about going green.
I have a couple of interviews already going, but no one that is doing a full-size complete package grid-tied system that is being rebated by their local power company.
Pictures, stories, and technical details would be the focus.
No name brands, specific locations or full names will be published.
The idea is to chronicle people who made the steps to becoming more energy independent.
No trade of money or goods offered, so please be willing to share your stories for others to see without compensation, it's just a good thing to do!
I don't make anything off of it either.
Later on I plan to interview vendors and large businesses about what they offer too, but the website is designed for those who go out of their way to go green!
Thanks-

    That's great Mike,
    I appreciate it. I like the active solar production guage you have!
    I am working on adding yours in and I will send you the link ASAP.
    You can let me know if you're OK with it then-

    I may be interested. I have a 5.2 KW rated system on my house that went into use in January of this year, including rebates from Southern California Edison.

    Hi!
    That would be great, I appreciate it. I dd get Mike's in too, but he didn't furnish too much info, he just wanted me to show his own URL and a couple of pic's.
    My job has me busy right now, but if you wouldn't mind waiting a day or so, I'd love to chat with you and setup an interview to post!
    Thanks again-

    Rick,

    You can link to my blog, and/or use what I've written about my own experiences. I think you'll appreciate how I've been able to cut my electicity and natural gas use. I hope to cut my gasoline use in the future with an electric car, and charge it (to the extent that I can) with my PV system.

    Hi John,
    You and I think very similarly about the best reasons to go green! I like your website!
    I'm holding out to buy the 2010 Toyota Prius that will allow for plugging in for extra charging. I'd love an electric car too, but I live about 40 miles from work and often need to run errands during lunch and stuff so it's not practical just yet.
    I'm with you in that if I support all my energy and auto needs with solar\wind, I could live on nearly one half of my current money needs. That will keep me away from the polititians and oil tycoons pockets.
    Would you mind if I were to ask a few questions as an interview and also include you website link(s)?
    Thanks-

    -Rick-
