Eugene Gurkin (Donal Logue) is a janitor with a big ambition. All right, a medium-size one: to open a bar whose signature drink would be the gin Eugene, "a pint glass of nice, cheap room-temperature gin." Lacking the start-up scratch for his business, he hatches a plan when he sees Jagger, who will do cameos throughout the series, on an E! celebrity-home show. He recruits a motley band of burglars--including a lawyer turned cabbie, a security guard and a bombshell waitress with a shady past--and christens them the Knights of the title. "Issue...

...This gesture doesn't come cheap. Essentially Vail is paying for two separate energy bills. "There's not a cost savings for them," says Renewable Choice CEO Quayle Hodek. "It's an additional cost - kind of like paying more for an organic apple." But, he reminds, "it's not double. They're just paying the difference." Vail won't disclose the added cost to their energy bill, but to put it in perspective, an average household would have to pay roughly $15 extra per month to replace their energy consumption with wind. For a company that operates resorts in Colorado...
