A couple of things about that email.

1.) What self-respecting company would use a Yahoo! email address?

2.) Why are there only a limited number of slots available if they are planning on putting 30KW generators on homes around the country?

3.) What happens when the price of gasoline goes up?

4.) How long will it take to recoup the purchase price of a 30KW generator?

I would rather have a solar home set up in such a way that it become a positive power producer, especially during peak time periods when people are at work and their home energy usage minimal.

That would be a feasible concept, although solar still has it's limitations (12 hours a day, susceptible to bad weather/clouds.. etc) and remains an expensive proposition.

Regards,

Ron

Probably a mix of truth and rumor. Here in Idaho they are going to put out 30 mobil generators to help make up for the low snow pack and resulting loss in hydro power. However they are not going to put them at anyone's houses etc. It is also a real power company, IDA. They are simply going to put 30 generators at various existing sub stations for the summer to help in demand.

Good Luck,

Lee
