Thanks for the encouragement, it seems daunting but with the site coming into fruition and nonprofit status pending I know I am going in the right direction.

Well, the new website is getting close to completion and I believe that we are currently waiting for 501c status before we can do much else to move forward.

I agree with everyone that Mico power is the route we're gonna want to take. The more different types of power sources for the SHIRE the less likely that we'll suffer a blackout when any one of them doesn't produce (IE Cloudy days, droughts, doldrums)
