Doug,

<< I'm not so sure a family shopping for a home will value this the same as a business. >>

Wait till their electric bills triple........ in any event, you can be sure that the power crunch will certainly get a lot of ink, and the pattern seen in California is destined to repeat itself to one degree or another elsewhere around the country as deregulation kicks in. So, a residential homebuyer may one day not too far off come to see a guaranteed source of power as a plus, particularly if they were able to defray some of the costs with a scheme that permitted selling excess and off-peak power back onto the grid.

And consider the developer who is building a big tract of "all electric" homes. He's got a problem. Might not Capstone micros be seen as a solution?
