Have rates gone down at all?? Will they??

No, because that was just one short period.

Rates aren't going to go down for decades, because even after we've built enough turbines to replace all the existing power stations, we'll still need to build enough to drive our vehicles, heat our buildings and replace gas and coal use in industry.

We've all gotten too used to cheap, dirty power.

clean energy doesn't mean cheap. depending on what they're using, costs could rise

If I was a home owner, I'd make my own energy.

That's pretty difficult in the UK, because most energy is used for heating. You can do OK in the summer though.

Also I'm pretty sure you have to hook it up to the National Grid don't you? Don't you just get a rebate from them depending on how much you produce?
