Re: [asa] $4 gas is here to stay

"And to top it all off. If you want to sell
electricity back to the grid, it is the law that if the grid goes down, your
equipment has to have automatic shut off switches. This means that when you
really really need the power, you don't have it. Why is this? Well if your
equipment continued to work when the rest of the grid was down, you could
electrocute the workers fixing the problem."

Interesting. I have a friend who lives at 8900 feet altitude in Rico,
Colorado. He has such a system. He told me his electric bill for a
typical year was under $100 (yes -- he heats with it and solar).

I'll have to ask him about the shut off switch issue.
