What can you buy for five dollars?
fivedollarcomparison.org
To explore the relative value of five dollars we are collecting examples from around the world by asking people to submit photos of objects or services that cost the equivalent of $5. Participate...
When I posted the first photo in the series in March, 2007 www.flickr.com/photos/ashi/438041386/ people who were paying $2 something were appalled when the sign read $3.57 for self serve. Then when I posted the second photo in the series in May 2008, www.flickr.com/photos/ashi/2533374982/ when self serve was $4.90 people again shouted "how can that be?!" This is the third in the series and you can see that yet again, the price went up. When will it stop?

Here's our submission:
This Week in Energy (TWiEpodcast) is free to watch or download to your
computer or favorite portable audio player.
Each week, however, co-host Bob Tregilus provides a "five dollar
comparison" during the mid-show funding request break, often using
examples pulled from the Five Dollar Comparison website of what five
dollars will purchase.
So we thought it's only fair to provide y'all with our submission!
So, what will five dollars buy? How about one month - that's four full
weeks - of the exciting TWiEpodcast! Available at

"The long-term case for V2G [vehicle-to-grid]
boils down to a choice. We can keep the electric
system and vehicle fleet separate, in which case
we substantially increase the cost of renewable
energy because we have to build storage to match
intermittent capacity. Or, we can connect the
vehicle and electric power systems intelligently,
using the vast untapped storage of an emerging
electric-drive vehicle fleet to serve the electric
grid."
